I think
negativity gets a bad rap. Anyone who says that they don’t have a negative bone
in their bodies is either just plain stupid, naïve, or in denial. Step back and
take a look at life. Negative things happen all the time. Sure, nobody wants to
dwell in a pit of misery, but that doesn’t mean you should pretend to be happy
all the time. Negativity creates humorous beauty such as sarcasm and wit. It
would be a very dull & contrived world if everyone acted like a giddy
school-girl 24/7. Negative people serve up a dose of reality, that we could all
stand to embrace. Just remember that pretending to be happy doesn’t actually
mean you are. Personally, I think the ones that try the hardest to put on a
happy face are really the most miserable inside.
Recently,
one of these Miss Happy Sally Sunshine people started working in my office. And
nobody can stand her. We all want to slap her. Every word out of her mouth
sounds fake. She uses so much word vomit to express a simple thought, it makes
out heads want to explode. A stupid teeth-baring smile is constantly plastered
on her face. She kisses the asses of everyone who walks past her desk. It’s
disgusting.
The trick to happiness is keeping a healthy balance.
In the wise words of the band 311's song "Down"…
"Keep your
feet on the ground
Keep your
head in the clouds"
