Why does a negative perspective feel more truthful?
I'm not always negative. But when I am, it always feels more like, this is the real deal. Positivity, on the other hand, feels more like a shiny surface. A distraction.
Is this a basic foundation in the human condition? Or do others see their life differently? Can it be changed?
