Positivity is a mindset, it doesn't make the world better but definitely bearable for you. A questions I get asked in therapy often is: Why should I be positive when the world is so horrible? Well, you being negative isn't going to change it. It's more likely you become frustrated and either stressed or hopeless with the world's situation. Being positive gives you the thrust to keep going even when things get tough - giving you more power and resilience for change. You adapt to the situations and come out stronger. Any change has to start from within. If you keep on just lamenting, you're harming yourself, the world isn't going to be affected just by that. Positivity doesn't mean you become ignorant, it just means you constantly look for silver linings
