The negative stuff sells for sure and if it's not human nature to gravitate towards that stuff then it's conditioning on behalf of the media masterminds... or both. I think both. The uplifting stuff which IMHO far outweighs the negative stuff in this ol' world just doesn't seem to grab and/or keep our attention. But...
For the rush, buzz, hit, fix, or otherwise I'll take the positive stories over others. I tend to stay focused on that sort of thing in our world if for no other reason than to balance things from all the negativity around me. This is not to say I ignore the bad stuff... nope. Just that I don't indulge in it.
One thing I like about this here forum is the positive spin (for the most part) on relations. I asked Bill (who just visited and who's been with ba.com for a long time) if he felt this forum is exceptional (I have little experience with any other forum). He said, "you mean how nice everyone is?" "Yeah... that's it," I replied. His answer? "Yes, this place is exceptional."
So, we got a good vibe story happening right here. Maybe some M/C emag could do a story on this just to help fuel the positive side of life and living.
