As an overthinker, you can’t stop imaging and analyzing almost impossible situations in the world. I want to ask, have you ever thought or imagined a world without hatred, negativity, and cruelty in the world? It feels good, no? No bad people, no deaths, no violence, no broken heart, and no bad feelings. Only good people, crime-free streets, a secure world for vulnerable human beings.
Don’t you think that "too much of everything is bad"? Yeah, that's true!! Every situation has its consequences. Too much positivity is also bad. We all come across people and spiritual gurus who advise us to think positively in every little situation. I started wondering, it isn't too dangerous to have only one view and one perspective for the whole world, and nobody tastes the nectar of negativity ever. It’s like one size fits all for life.
Only positive thoughts can make things more complicated for you. Are you confused? Let me explain with an example. If you make up your mind that you only have to think positively so, you have to take two steps; first, you have to deal with the situation, and second, you have to fight with negative thoughts. You might start feeling guilty and try to suppress the negativity, which will cause more damage.
We often lack to see that love and hate are the two sides of a coin, and as a coin, every side is incomplete without another. Love is incomplete without hate because we will lose the joy and importance of happiness. We can’t feel sunshine after the deadly storm. We will not have this feeling. After all, what is the perk of being on a positive side, when you never taste the nectar of negativity? How can you judge that this is positive? We need negativity to balance positivity.
Negative things are also positive in one way or another. We need disturbance to keep moving, don’t you think complete silence would be boring. We need a purpose to live to enjoy our life. Actions in our life so that we can brush up our situation dealing skills and look at the positive side of the coin. We can hope for happiness or try to be happy and calm in every situation. Problems occur because we refuse to accept the negativity.
This is the purpose of our life, to live, to have all the taste in our plate without hate, life will be a sweet dish, and you can't eat sweet dishes your whole life, you'll eventually die of diabetes. We need salt, spices, sourness, and bitterness to make a complete meal the same we need hatred, negativity to complete our life.
When we eat spicy food, we need sweets to relieve ourselves, and it soothes us, it gives us the peace that we value more, same goes with love and hate. We need sadness, hate, pain, and bitterness to welcome happiness. We need a tear of pain to smile more brightly.
Has anybody ever thought that negative thoughts are good for your mental health? Maybe not, but according to recent studies researchers has proved that it’s crucial to have negative thoughts. I also believe in this. Let’s hear about your thoughts too. Comment below and let’s see how many of you agree with it.
