Emotions aren’t meaningless and we learn some of life’s most important lessons while we are feeling scared, sad or angry. Sure happiness is important but if we just focus on being happy and positive, we might lack the ability to form a perspective on things.
Let’s admit that not everything in life can be a cakewalk, sometimes you come across times and situations that aren’t in your favour. Dealing with that requires extreme patience. At those times avoid getting your head wrapped around quotes that make you feel that you are worthless
Suppose everyone started looking at the brighter side of things. Then how do you think issues like racism, misogyny and homophobia would have arisen. This is just a broad example of the scenario. If you really want to focus on what’s wrong you have to think about the brighter as well as the darker side
Before we dig further into this subpoint, understand that yes you should surround yourself with people who are positive and non-toxic. But as we know that no day is the same and no one can be all smiles all the time. You need to allow people to feel bad, sad, angry or whatever is that they are feeling.
This phrase just invalidates one’s feelings in the most obvious way. Yes, things can get worse but that doesn’t mean they aren’t bad now. Whatever the situation, one can feel bad about a situation without being judged for it.
