In the negative stronghold, the chief bird wanted more positive and I wrote something about it
It's long
Thanks for reading dear Fedis
___________________
I am a very positive person and am sometimes lovingly made fun of for it
I wonder if we are fooling ourselves to look for positivity in a very negative world
1/?
The harsh, cold and loveless world that we encounter every day is not something we can take much positivity from and an important and existential question is whether we can really pass on positivity if we don't encounter it at all
How can you pass something on to others if you can't feel it yourself?
How to smile when you are “spat on”?
The climate we have been facing for far too long is always geared towards negativity
2/?
It is not love that is seen as important and progressing but hate, negativity and nastiness
If you take some platforms as an example of what is really progressing, what is popular and what is read and followed, unfortunately these are often accounts that are not blessed with an abundance of love and positivity
Instead of logging in to get away from everyday life and its stresses, other things happen...
3/?
The negative sides of life tend to hit us like a bomb
Sides that we have known for a long time, because we live them every day
The search for unity often leads to alienation
We are then torn by the question of what an appropriate reaction might be
A futile effort then a struggle that is doomed to failure and this before it has even begun
4/?
One thing I don't advocate at all is being blind and ignorant to the problems we have
You should always know what is happening around you at all times
The question is, at what price do you tell the world?
Do I opt for a valuable, insightful, enlightening and naturally friendly exchange or do I take the supposedly easier route, which usually brings success?
5/?
Do I post my opinion maliciously, slanderously and with a pinch of agitation?
Knowing full well that such posts often have a strong reach
This fight is not a just fight
It never was and, looking at history and learning from it, it never will be
Giving up should never be an option despite everything
The light must not succumb to the dark
6/?
The search and creation of a brighter world should actually be a goal for everyone
But it never was and never will be
Even this realization is important
We only bring about change through this very realization
So if you're supposed to be more positive on social media, is it really going to happen?
Does everyone really want that?
Do we perhaps want to escape our artificial and fake smiles of everyday life and then let out our frustration properly?
7/?
Is perhaps the purpose of social media not to be social, but to satisfy people's desire for antisocial behavior and then help them not to become brutes in real life?
Are we depriving people of a bastion of escape from the “wrong” world we all live in, throwing all the pent-up evil onto many who should not be the culprits and not the ones who suffer
8/?
The pursuit of more positivity also has a dark side and this can be found in all of us
Because anyone who is blessed with too much kindness and positivity these days is considered stupid, naive and uneducated
and this is exactly where it begins and ends
Since almost nobody wants to be seen as stupid, naive and uneducated, many of us choose the dark side
And yes, for me this is the dark side
9/?
I personally don't mind being called that, I have my opinion and see only one hope, the pursuit of positive behavior and the giving of love
I lose every day
and will do so again and again, no matter where, and it is precisely this realization that liberates me
I also have reservations about what behavior is right towards whom and everyone should too
No, of course you can't always be positive and loving and you should never be hypocritical anyway
10/?
But there are people you meet with whom you can do wonders with a less hateful face and the same applies to social media
So look around and realize for yourself what you want to see, not only on social media but also in real life and act accordingly
A nice answer, a chat that might be going on here that makes you feel good, if that's what you want then work towards it
11/?
If you want to go off on a tangent because you can't in real life, then do so, but remember that it's not a malicious troll or a bot that reads your stuff every time, but a person with feelings
12/?
According to the Federal Statistical Office (Germany), there were 10304 suicides in Germany in 2023, 22 of which were younger than 15
No, of course there's no connection, that's not what I meant to say
But has anyone ever asked themselves why people take this step?
Most of us probably not
13/?
Why would anyone in this self-centered and negative world want to understand?
These people were just weak and couldn't fight
For me a wrong and downright fatal view, but a view that is held by too many
14/?
If the global climate continues to be so negative, divisive and inflammatory, we must also ask ourselves what kind of world we are placing our children in, because they too could break and despair of this world and it doesn't matter how many there will be
Every person is important and could contribute to a better world, if they are not even born or die under whatever circumstances, we have put a stop to the future that is not yet written.
15/?
I often hear and read that we should have more children for so many different reasons, many of them incredibly important, but I also understand everyone who, when looking around the world, often considers it not very worth living in and decides not to have children
Of course, not everyone makes the world a better and more positive place, but where do you get the knowledge if you are deprived of the opportunity?
16/?
In the end, no matter what direction you take, you can change it, for whatever reason
Well, as we all know, hope always dies last and the pursuit of more goodness, love and positivity in everyone's life should be seen for what it really is, simply a wonderful and desirable thing
17/?
Even if we can't always be positive and don't have to be, we should have a safe space, a person with whom we can “misbehave” without fear of consequences, where all the frustration can be unloaded without harming anyone
Only when the scales are reasonably even for all of us, only then does the future have a chance to be brighter for everyone
Always questions everything
Always looking for answers
18/?
But the focus should be on doing something positive with it
Do not seek and share all the evil of this world, because then the darkness will eventually swallow everyone up
And trapped in this morass, getting out is almost impossible
Search and find what can make everyone's life brighter
This not only enriches the lives of others but also yours
19/?
Even though I hear and read again and again that hate and agitation are objected to everywhere, I often see one thing that love and positivity are pushed into the dark
Losing and giving up
Marked by sadness
Then you stand there, with the sun in your heart before the iron gates of hell, alone, challenging an enemy whose superiority knows no mercy
The strong against the weak
The majority against the minority
Hatred against love
The negative against the positive
20/?
Things are seen as weaknesses that don't necessarily have to be
You can turn a weakness into an outstanding strength
And recognizing this is an unparalleled strength
One thought remains....
Love has always triumphed after all
the supposedly weaker person has always managed to triumph
to make something his strength
what the “evil” overlooked
to then emerge victorious
21/?
Only those who truly carry the brightness within them understand this often hopeless struggle and yet never give up, firmly clutching the brightness and the warmth associated with it and never giving up
One of my most beautiful realizations is then also a very important one and a confirmation of my theories, which in turn results in further texts and inspiration for new texts
22/?
There are many, probably too many, who if they have the patience to read all this, they react with suspicion, malice and negativity and pick out everything that can be destroyed in the text...
but this is exactly where I draw the inspiration for my texts and the realization that positive is often not IN
23/?
I have always put love before hate and realized that in the world of social media you usually lose and yet I am happy with that
24/?
Finally....
I wrote this thread very quickly
There was no editing beforehand, which you can quickly see
I have not been able to proofread the text to put it in the right form and find and correct errors
The most important thing at the end
Be kind to each other, wherever you are
