I like being positive about HIDEOUS STUFF....

like

pain hurts

lying damages relationships

truth is always a gift, the rest is already trash

growing up is a bitch cause it deals increasingly with gray areas

positivity 4 its own sake is an unreal idea. It is an adjective that needs a
NOUN to make it real.

And the concept "positive thinking" doesn't count. Sorry.

Would you like to have a 50 IQ and go to a special school where you were taught to LOVE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE (cause the idea is so "positive")?

@Platoscave Nope, because I don't love everything and everyone just because that's what some were taught.

I also do not hate anything or anyone.

I choose to dislike instead. Hate is a very wasted emotion for me.

@JerseyGal well you haven't answered me.

hearts-and-flowers

will never help anyone

except at hallmark holiday time.

maybe.

@Platoscave Well I believe we all think differently. Sorry, but I'd rather remain positive from day to day. It doesn't mean that I do not see the bad side of people or things. I just choose not to spend my life focusing on them. Nature, animals, flowers ... they all do help me by making me smile. So to me, that is positive. You choose how you look at things. I choose how I do.

Positivity has become a religion

and like all religions

they have a lot to HIDE.

@Platoscave Positivity is not in any way a religion to me.
PlatoscaveF
@JerseyGal it is the American religion these days.
JerseyGal51-55, F
@Platoscave I'm American and it's not to me.
But to each their own.

@JerseyGal It absolutely is the AMERICAN religion, ask Oprah, she seems to be THE spokesperson for this stuff.

Take a poll, I would BET my LIFE on this.

Everyone thinks "positivity" is so LIBERATING.

So they will answer that way.

Except that it prevents the nuanced debate this society needs. I mean how bloody much of that stuff exists HERE?
JerseyGal51-55, F
@Platoscave All I'm saying is that it isn't to me. Positivity is not a religion.
I'm not one to get into conversations on here about religion or politics. So if you'd like to take a poll, please do.

Thanks for your input though.
PlatoscaveF
@JerseyGal not interested in a poll

Just REALITY.

And that hearts and flowers stuff takes off cause it is for DENIERS and AMERICANS.

@Platoscave LMAO!!!!! Too funny that some cannot even have a decent conversation here without blocking someone.
You add me, comment on MY post and then don't like what I reply, so block me.
Too bad you cannot do that in REAL since you like reality so much. Talk about denial!!! 馃槈馃き
