Thread: How negative should our thoughts be?

A builder, a maker, is always looking for a better way.

You passed up the truth of it, it is not about being happy or sad, negative or positive, but learning the underlying truth of things.

I am almost always negative about myself as a means of trying to keep a foot up my ass. I would rather have that than stupid flattery.

There is a way to be. There are standards to achieve. And, self satisfaction is nothing more than a death call.

Being negative helps to teach you to ask questions. Eventually you may learn how to ask the right questions, which I see you have been doing. It will also help you to investigate many things, and eventually you will start targeting certain things to investigate and you may choose to solve certain problems, as I did.

What I post is glimpses of things I found.

It does not take any intelligence to break things, or to be satisfied with things as they are.

Eventually you may come to learn a sad truth. There is a very fundamental difference between people, Kohlberg's six stages of moral development are in reality only two. It is a biological distinction which cannot be overcome by words.
