Why Are You Obsessed With Negativity???

[mountain]

Is it me, or does it seem like most fms are obsessed with threads concerning things of a negative nature and argumentative subjects?? Why is that?? I am just curious that is all.

Another thing! It also seems that there are those who are silent and only contribute info to bash someone else's truth.

We are human?

[knightofthegrail]

Been wondering that too. It seems a lot more time is given to problems than to solutions.....

[chris]

Everything needs a balance.

[mad as a cat]

My take on this is,that, if a problem is discussed, it may lead to a solution.

Are you saying that YOU yourself thrive on issues that are negative? If so, do you indulge in it in your personal life?

I'll stroke my beard to that.

Controversial topics spawn dynamic debate. Sugary sentiments don't.

No I'm not saying I thrive on it, nor am I obsessed by it.
I'm just saying that humans generally have a tendency
to get more 'caught up' in something arguementative
because they want to get their point across and at times
this can be difficult and frustrating.
We all have egos which want to be right.
When people are agreeing the conversation ends quicker,
since a resolution is reached quicker.

I wouldn't even say that there are any negative issues as such.
There are just issues, and people's individual perceptions of them.
I don't think arguing is entirely negative for example,
as someone above said, an arguement can clear the air,
and lead to a resolution.

An intelligent debate would be more preferable for me... no one listens to each other during an argument. So how can two arguing parties resolve their differences, when they constantly and stubbornly try to prove their truths?

I've never seen anyone on the internet change his mind while debating and say 'Oh actually, you are right.' They usually just cool off and then come to an understanding...The big winners of the debate are usually the people reading...They are not involved, don't need to write well referenced posts and can come to a conclusion, the one who knows his shit the most doesn't benefit at all, he just stands his ground. The one losing might get even more stubborn or see the truth...

Non of it is negative. Negative has only been considered bad by Christians, newagers and some hindu's most other religions are pretty cool with the negatives and understand that is what life is created on.

Agreed, sentiments can easily become bland and stagnate. There has to be some conflict at least.

People thrive off drama, i think the thing the whole 'conspiracy information' is generally seen as negative, it's something that affects us all as a race so admittedly there will be those who are scared to a degree. Confusion, lack of knowledge, fear, uncertainty and shock all contribute and we're also all at different levels of learning too, there's so much that contributes i couldnt possibly write it all down now, we all have varying degrees of conditioning......so much to consider, although it can be depressing at times or negative or aggressive i think its good to embrace the diversity of individuals....

It has been said that with regards to the LOA if we focus on the negative we can manifest just that but........

Ok i read about conspiracies and the like but to say i 'focus' on the negativity therefore creating it i think is not entirely true, because i can see it from a bigger perspective too- ok we are going through a hard transition at the moment- the world is full of uncertainty etc etc but i dont worry about the future because i think we'll overcome it in the end....i dont know how- but i have faith that we are far more able than we have been led to believe and the strength (not physical)of the human-being is incredible (as well as pathetic at times on a superficial level! )

Im a happy person generally and the more i learn the better perspective i can see things in....i remain positive, i am generally positive but i can also appreciate the negativity too and still be informed about it without giving my energy to it....im not saying absolutely just most of the time....

I think with regards to aggression etc at times we all experience frustration and negativity and unfortunately the forum isnt always the best way to have a conversation, as deep as all this stuff is the inability to express tone is difficult and can be misconstrued and a conversation that could be had in an hour person to person can take weeks on here due to the medium that is a forum.

We all know this( gov conspiracy) is directly affecting us and that makes us all very passionate about it i suppose, conversations get heated, everyone wants to say their piece, everyone has a different and unique perspective and that creates diversity!

anyway....just my thoughts.....:)

(i apologise that im not articulating myself very well this evening!!)

the negativity and argumentative discussions are posted for a reason.

to keep everyone on here divided and angry.

they don't want people loving each other because how do you maintain power?

through division, fear and anger.

just be skeptical of those posting these sorts of discussions..

give them lots of love back! that's your biggest weapon!

[supertzar]

Also, males tend to want to hash out thorny issues in a more confrontational manner to figure them out and/or establish dominance. Women are more interested in supporting others emotionally. A lot of confusion arises from this difference, actually.

I agree with you immensely and actually I see the views made by the others.

[on the road]

all the negativity messes up my positiveity

or we could just not talk about it and do fuck all

[joss classey]

you guys are going to need to strengthen up a bit

despite the negativity, i have faith in my own direction for positivity.

i will seek to sort what's true and put what's right straight

negativity should be like water off a ducks back

and what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. righteousness

trust me when i say it's all a balance.

if it gets you down then you're going to have to face the reality if you want to make it better. don't take it to heart though. we're all on a journey

[alleendewaarheid]

i just don't go into negative discussions.

i also don't read certain people who are trying to create anger or are spreading disinformation.

Yes, that is absolutely true. After awhile, you begin to become immune to such things, as you realise that events happen to people and places in order for a grand transformation to happen.

Most do not realize that the unbalance has been occurring for a long time, eons and that things are actually improving!

[Anders Lindman]

Conflicts are like friction. The friction needs to be at the right places. A tennis match is a conflict but a constructive conflict. If the friction is too large or at the wrong places the machinery doesn't work so well. In a car, the engine wouldn't run well if we pour a lot of sand into the engine, while between the rubber and the road friction is needed. :rolleyes::cool:

Arguement, debate - same thing.
Two sides trying to show the other their side of the story.

You cannot resolve differences as such.
Why would you want to?
We are different and that's that, embrace it.
Nothing can be conclusively settled as long as
there are unique individuals -
there will always be someone with something to add
that upsets the apple cart.
I don't see what's so bad about that.
I certainly don't find it to be negative.
It just is the way it is.
Human nature.

I don't know about negativity but I do kinda feel like I'm just sitting around waiting for the next big thing to kick off. Whether that next big thing is some global catastrophe or some wondrous gift from the stars, I can't say but when you have been into this stuff for a good few years you get the impression that something huge is just around the corner and dare I say it, look forward to it, whether it be good or bad.

Yes, lots of conspiracy people feel that way.
I suppose that's the point of it.
You look around ten years later
and find that whilst you were waiting,
you forgot to live.
