Lovers always focus away from negativity, to beauty, goodness, and joy.\u00c2\u00a0 Though they are aware of the dark side of life, they avoid gravitating to it.\u00c2\u00a0 Obsession with what is wrong with the world assures our blindness to what is good and right.\u00c2\u00a0 On the other hand, solutions become more visible in the light of possibilities.<\/p>\n
Beauty and goodness are successful forces against ugliness and evil.\u00c2\u00a0 Negative people look for (and always find) confirmation for the negative, just as positive people look for and find the lightness of being.\u00c2\u00a0 Both exist.\u00c2\u00a0 Both are real and are always with us.\u00c2\u00a0 The difference is as basic as a decision, and as simple as opening our eyes.<\/p>\n
