negativity

There seems to be an innate leaning towards negativity in this nation of ours which is largely due to the media.However,the media couldn't have this influence on us if we were not so ready to see the negative side of everything.It gets me down.When I present a positive view about something my listener will often appear disappointed that I've put forward a positive point of view!I'd love a discussion on this but no-one knows I'm blogging yet and I'm a 'blogging virgin' so I might be talking to myself for some time!I'll try not to argue with myself!!
