I stumbled upon the following quote yesterday:
"Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law." --Buddha
Today I found:
"We must always seek to ally ourselves with that part of the enemy that knows what is right." --Mahatma Gandi
In light of these quotes, and others, I have decided to declare today no negativity day for myself. I will do my best not to do anything 'negative', say anything 'negative' and, as much as is practical, not to think anything 'negative'.
Chalk this up as yet another stunt for the poodle to get more attention if you will.
I encourage anyone else who feels moved by the above quotes, thinks this a worthwhile experiment or even just mildly amused/curious to also make today a no negativity day.
Please ignore all double negatives.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I wish more people would give this a try, and not just for a day!
I know I always prefer to focus on the positive rather than the negative. I find myself happier that way. Just talking about problems or flaws of things and/or people gets depressing. I would much rather focus on the good points of something.
I prefer to define myself by what I am FOR, rather than what I'm against. (Borrowing a phrase from my wife. 8^)
but.............sigh ok. :)
Don't worry, be happy..... ~Whistles~

It's not mandatory. I am just trying to spread a little positivity, man.
Hate is learned. I support changing the curriculum one teaches children, not just for a day, but for good.
I used to love WotC. Now I love Paizo.
It's as simple as that, man... 8^)
Edit: Personal statement, not saying anybody else needs to share it.
Agreed. I do not think it has to be trying to convince ourselves that we do not have negative emotions, but embracing our positive ones.
I used to love WotC. Now I love Paizo.
I love beans! Pull my finger.... I wish to share the love

Not to be negative but you chose to make it "No Negativity Day" halfway through the day, that's cheating.
What about those times you need to negate a negative to make a positive?
Is that like two wrongs do not make a right but three lefts do?
Paizo is awesome!
I can be positive that way.:)

Why not grow things? Plants needs poop too.

Compost tea is good for growing veggies. And trees. Which are made into paper. Which is used to make Pathfinder products.
Yes, poop juice is good.

Maybe I should make this longer than a day.
