Priority Use

I have sort of always wondered why we're all so negative here. Part of it, I think, is we're all self-selectively self-destructive in a very productive, smart, progressive sort of way.

Today, I was at a meeting and we were discussing whether or not people liked the health center. Everyone was saying that they'd had only good experiences there. That really surprised me. Not that I have much first-hand knowledge, but I'd really only heard people complaining about the place. Someone mentioned that we're trained to find problems. That's the fundamentals of our education.

I totally agree.

Sure, maybe we have negative tendencies to begin with (I refuse to go as far as to say we're all pessimists, because I, for one, certainly am not). But, I think also, this girl had a point. We've been trained to question what is. We've been trained to see what's wrong.

Hopefully, to make it all better.
