Two opposite mistakes are to be:
1. Needlessly Negative. ("Everything's Rotten" is a lie)
2. Presumptuosly Positve. ("Everything's Fine" is a lie)
Dealing with the negative can be OK if it is solution oriented. A lot of the information and speculation on this site can be very upsetting, at times...but I prefer to attempt to face negative realities in positive ways...rather than living in apathetic ignorance and denial...which is a set-up for a very rude awakening. Going for long walks in nature...and listening to beautiful music...are two of the best ways to be lifted above the sea of negativity which we are drowning in.
