The problem isn't that people don't understand how good things are. It's that they know, from personal experience, that things really aren't that good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the people of this world are coated round and round with self-esteem, and they're afraid to admit any understanding of the things which aren't good.
There is just no getting around that turning bad things into good things is up to you.
Very few people do bad things because they're bad. They generally do bad things because they think they're the right thing to do, but they're misplaced.
The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so.
People tend to believe the bad rather than the good.
Everybody is great when things are great. It's the 'not great' stuff that matters.
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
It's easy to see the faults in people I know; it's hardest to see the good. Especially when the good isn't there.
Good people don't spend their time being good. Good people want to spend their time mowing the lawn and playing with the dog. But bad people spend all their time being bad. It is all they think about.
A lot of people deal with things that are bad. Once you've been through something, you grow from it and you take a lot in. You can always turn it into something positive.
