I Can Be Negative
By Donovan Baldwin
I can be pretty negative.
In fact, I'm positive I can be negative.
Two good things. I also am positive that I can be pretty positive, and, I don't think that being negative is always...well...a negative.
Positively!
We sometimes negative people are the ones who ask, "Why?", and "How?" and "Why not?"
Oh, sure constant negativity can be a downer, man, but, I just cannot feel that constant positivity can be constantly a positively uplifting thing either.
At least I'm pretty positive about that. Look at old Yin and Yang, the circle of life, my checking account. Things grow and prosper, but, sometimes because they are eating something else. If somebody wins, it's possible that somebody else lost...or, at least...didn't win...which is kind of like losing...if you're going to be negative about it.
Anyway, I guess what I'm positively trying to get at, is that we can't all have good stuff all the time....at least not in this segment of the space-time continuum we currently occupy.
That's a negative. Here's a positive: Maybe someday, if we keep working at it, we will get closer to that world, even if it's not in our lifetime.
Now, I'm not sure if that ended on a positive or negative note.
