There are positives in just about every situation, no matter how grim it seems. It's up to you to find them.
It's all very Pollyanna'ish I know, but you can't go through this life moaning and groaning about "poor me" otherwise you'll miss out on what it's all about. And that is enjoying life and all it has to offer.

Using your logic Jeanette, I could argue that there are negatives in just about every situation. So, who's right? I personally dislike this false positiveness that I see. It's half the reason why this society is so screwed up in so many areas imho. If something is wrong, then say it is. I see too many people ignore things that are wrong, and that is why things do go wrong! I guess we live in a society where there is social pressure from the lazy majority, against the minority who do recognise issues and have suggestions for them to be rectified.
I'm a firm believer in (as an example), if something is Black, then you call it Black. I spent 7 years living with a person who had the attitude of everything is hunky dory and I found it rather annoying to say the least.
