While negativity is politically useful, it is also demoralizing unless it is accompanied - and to some extent overshadowed - by elevated and inspiring ideas about the American future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The media dwells mostly on negativity.
Negativity doesn't help me.
I think sometimes we seem to obsess on negativity.
The 2008 Democratic presidential candidates would be wise to note that unwarranted negativism is dangerous and badly underestimates the strengths of the American people to adapt to and prosper with change.
There has been a shift to what may be defined as a culture of negativity which goes well beyond coverage of politics.
I think we manifest the very thing we put out. If you're putting out negativity, then you're going to retrieve that same sentiment. If you emanate joy, it comes back to you.
The negative is just as important as the positive.
Negativity is the enemy of creativity.
Being positive is like going up a mountain. Being negative is like sliding down a hill. A lot of times, people want to take the easy way out, because it's basically what they've understood throughout their lives.
I think there's an enormous value to being negative. The world we live in today, negativity is not permitted.
