"But more and more, it feels as if people are focusing on the negative because they enjoy it, rather than because of any desire to do something about it."

So true!! I believe it is indeed an addiction. Humans love to complain and criticize even if it does not change anything. I had a good friend who used to say, 'if you can do something about it, if you can actually affect change, do it! If you can't, don't bitch about it.' I took that as excellent advice.

I've received very similar advice over the years! Truly words to live by. And I think with this attitude in mind, we discover we can do more than we think.
