Positivication

‘Positivication’ – That’s not actually a real word in the English language, but follow along with me anyhoo.

Larry King Live !  has a ‘Quick Vote’ up (on their web site) with the following statement – ‘I am generally …’ – followed by three responses that you can select – ‘A positive person’, ‘A negative person’, and ‘I don’t subscribe to this stuff’.

As of press time of this post 78% had selected ‘A positive person’. 78% of the people that responded to the ‘Quick Vote’ may have responded as such, but deep down in their hearts and souls only a fraction of them are genuinely positive. Who really wants to state that they are not ‘positive’ ?  Who really wants to declare themself to be ‘A negative person’ ?  14% apparently do !  14% were actually so honest with this ‘Quick Vote’ that they actually responded realistically. And then there was the 8% that ‘don’t subscribe to this stuff’. They generally don’t subscribe, follow, support, or believe in much of anything at all – not even themselves.

Incidentally I responded that I am ‘A positive person’. I really am !  I just wish that more people in this world were positive. It would make for a nicer world to live in.
