Ignorance and greed, in my opinion cause hatred.  I don't know where you are from, but I think most people are good at heart.  Fear is a negative thing too.  People fear what they don't understand.

As they say, Ignorance is Bliss ... But you can't be truly happy if you avoid responsibility.  Handling responsibility helps us to grow and mature.  The feeling of accomplishing a difficult task is something that CAUSES happiness.

When I am around people that think or talk negatively all the time, I simply remove myself from that situation.  The negative people are just looking for that additional attention.  By not giving it, you are telling them that that is not cool.  They will either change or be alone.  When you do come across someone that is negative, find things that are positive to talk about.  Just dont let them bring you down with them.

Yes they can be considered pessimists, however you have to understand the nature of a beast before you can deal with the beast. Many people are negative because the have experienced so much hurt that they do not know how to be happy in joyous occasions, and they have to learn how to differentiate between there problems and a celebration.

There is plenty of trouble in the world.  However, I think there are alot more good things and good people than ever.  With modern conveniences, medicines, arts, we truly can look forward to a great tomorrow.  Sadly, bad news sells newspapers, magazines, and advertising on tv.  So we must learn to look for the positive and good in things and move away from the bad, ugly, and dark side of things... And not create more harm in trying to put all the blame on one person or culture.   Peace

I'm not sure its 'circumstances' that make one bad. That is a psycho-social point of view, sure; but not one I share as a Christian psychologist - it's the choices we make that define us as 'bad' or 'good' and, if people choose to do bad things and reject God then perhaps they deserve to pay for it...

Not knowing that something bad is happening is one thing.  Knowing that something bad is happening and not caring is cruel.\n\nIf you got attacked/raped or something terrible on your way home, that would be bad.  If I saw it happening and did nothing, that is worse than the person comitting the crime.  They may be confused, ill, sick or mentally disturbed.  I, on the otherhand, posessing all of my faculties and in a position to do something, have a moral obligation to humanity to do that something.\n\nNow if I was 80 years old and could not stop the attack, I should at least raise a ruckas ... alert attention to it ...\n\nTo this day, those whom dismiss the horrors of it, fail to learn the tragedy and the events which led up to it are doing much the same ... walking down the sidewalk, not paying attention.\n\nIn other situations ... if you asked me for money ... well, you're not getting any, but the least I could do is to listen and emphasize ... "Gee, I'm genuinely sorry that I can't give you money."   Not to be confused with bearing no consequence at all to handing $1.75 to a stranger in the airport who's just trying to call his wife and doesn't have change.  \n\nSee ?

IT is only bad if you allow it to be.

Throughout history, mankind has always hated and/or feared anything abnormal. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it's bad. It's just the survival instinct.

To think that positive thinking will have a bad outcome, means you were never positive in the first place.  And sometimes denial isn't always negative.  Obstacles happen whether you are negative or positive.  The beauty of positive thinking is no matter what, if you deal positively, you will achieve positively.

Exactly. This is the same thing that goes on in our lives when we make negative choices. Religion pretends that it is sin and that we are bad. This is just nonsense. It is only Gods way of teaching us what not to do.\n\nGod has not intention of judging us for learning our lessons in the way He always intended.\n\nLove and blessings Don

It isn't bad. It is only bad if you abuse it.

Terrible things are happening everywhere. I just appreciate and cherish every moment  that i can and live the best that I can. I think that the media focuses too much on the terrible things that are happening rather than the good that is going on. There is so much of it going on. \n\nI do not live in Fairy Tale Land I do see the bad things happening. I realize that there is nothing I can do what happens happens, so I just live and appreciate everyday that goes by and I make the best of my life and I treat others kindly. It is all about attitude and acceptance. Things happen as they do and we cannot stop it from happening so we might as well buckle down and go with the flow. We cannot live in fear and we cannot live in sorrow. Life is still good no matter what it all depends on what we make of it.
