UNTAME Hounchell: In Defense of Negativity

I write for my school's paper, the Washburn Review. Since, I have a regular job,I mostly write columns. My most recent column was about how negativity can be good.

This is that same article with limitations and without restrictions. An untamed version.

Negativity. It is soemthing we all feel and if you think not, then you sir are a list. We all feel negative. We feel negative about our blood tests, our History tests, our drug test, all tests really.

Why then do some strange people have to say dumb things like, "I can't deal with your Negativity!"

Maybe I can't deal with your positivity! Negativity is valid. If at least one person in a horror movie acted on feelings that they vocalize maybe they wouldn't all die. Why is everyone having sex and feeling positive in a horrible situation.

Negative and positive is the battery of your being. It allows different responses like flight or fight. Live or die! To idiot or not to idiot. The point is to know if your feeling is valid. You can't always be happy. It would be strange to be happy while at a funeral for example? Allowances can't be made in those situations and not others.

But you can be happy if you need to be. Different people have different responses to different stimuli. Deal with it.
