A world without negativity. Imagine it

A world without negativity. What could it be like? A world without things such as

-Bullying

-Trolling

-Vioence

-Corruption

-Racism

-Hatred

-Arrogance

-School

And anything else negative. I heard too much time stress-free can be really bad it can also get boring at times. But what do you think?

Sounds boring. I like a bit of chaos in the world even if I hate some of the products that comes along with it (Nitpicking trivial things like skin color or sexual orientation...)

I like to think chaos is the world natural way of keeping things in order. Without it and if everyone completely stop killing each other over spilled milk, then we'll definitely end up having population issues sooner rather than much later along with impending resource problems in many parts of the world...

This reminds me of one of my classes I have. It's small (less than ten people) but the subject of problems came up and I was the only one to wish that there were no problems in the world. I don't know what they're all smoking but okay. I've heard from somewhere that humans are addicted to problems, which baffles me as well.

I think it's a little selfish to say the world would be boring without problems considering many problems cause people varying degrees of suffering. So the world would be boring without problems? So fucking what? The world would be a much better place without problems. If the world is so addicted to problems, then why even bother trying to solve them, or even calling problems "problems"?

Logic. There is none.

One day, don't worry. Hehe =]

Everything zen, everything zen? I don't think so. It would be against our nature. As living organisms we have to consume other living organisms to survive and compete for those resources be they plant or animal. We can better relate with an animal and better understand their fear and pain as their passing from the world sustains another life form but make no mistake you are alive right now because another organism has had its life force extinguished to sustain you. As multi-celled organisms we also have to compete for parters to reproduce and that is hardly a situation where the most passive and non-aggressive would propagate the most.

"imagine it"

I am. Sounds like a world devoid of freedom and critical thinking.

Conflict exists because we're alive.

An unfortunate reality at times, but is also what allows us to change and grow as a species. The image of a peaceful utopia that people think about is nothing but a fantasy, and would realistically only be possible in a government that had absolute control over its people and forced everyone to conform to a single ideal (as having opposing views is the very definition of conflict).

Would not be the most fun of places.

A world without religion may be better

@lucianocasanova

A world without negativity would be awful, because a lot of progress revolves around feelings of negativity. For example, I hate seeing sickness and disease hurt people, so I dedicate my life to finding cures for diseases. Or I hate having to walk all over the place, so I domesticate the horse and use it to carry me around.

The fact is that negativity is in large part one of the things that allows us to recognize problems and then get up off our asses in order to solve those problems. A lack of negativity would only be beneficial in a world that doesn't have any problems. And I'm sorry, but having a positive outlook doesn't suddenly stop the tigers from trying to eat you.

@lucianocasanova: reminds me of John Lennon's Imagine...it's hard to live with problems,it's even harder to live without one.

you can't escape from it as easily as one might think it is, and you see,temptation and negativity exist for a reason,for example,how to make things positive a reality..negative perception and deeds are to be faced,so that it might give a chance to work the brighter side. the light is bright,but doesn't mean it will shine forever,there are those who rely on darkness to do things,and those that do not. no problem is solved if it's all good from the beginning...do you know how a friendship got started? ugly start,and in the end,it will be beautiful,refer this to a butterfly life cycle if you wanted to believe me.

when I was a kid,a proverb taught me to be happy in the end. "you'll be happy someday after you faced the many hardship where-ever you are"

overall: having a positive world is a good idea,but that won't happen very quickly,just think of the mess politicians made,I wanted to be in their position,but I won't treat their job as a joke/satire material.

That sounds boring.

A world without trolling is a world not worth living for.

Trolling is a negative thing.

Yup, people really are addicted to problems. The responses in this thread prove it.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

I get it. The world would be "boring" without problems, but a world without major problems like war, poverty, and disease would be light years better than right now, and if you think otherwise just because it would be boring, then **** you, **** you, **** YOU.

*ahem*

I don't think we'd find it very boring if we were in a world like that, because it would be precisely because of the way we are that the world became such a positive place, meaning we were fine with it all along.

If the world naturally has negativity in it, I think it's because of the way we are.

why the **** is school on your list?

The cause of a lot of the world's problems.

@comp_atkins: I knew some one was gonna ask that question.

Why? Bullies, homework and boredom

In the world I live there is no problems related to religion and stuff like that. It's stupid to think we need something that we don't even have the tools to understand fully. Religion is an utmost and downright personal choice and vocation so nobody should mess up with nobody just because of what he chooses to believe in. For instance I believe that the world is a big piece of magma derived from internal matters mixed with stuff from other planets and blablabla. who cares? I'll believe what I want to believe and it will even make me who I am. I choose to let people alone in their beliefs too if they make them what they are but ideally try to show them that, maybe, just maybe, sometimes what I believe in can be better or more real or whatever. Love you all people!!

LDR

If we humans showed zero negativity I think the next step would be to teach animals how to stop being so negative

A world without chaos is a world without order. I also kinda like a bit of chaos it makes life less mundane.

I not sure you can have one without the other. There's a literal balance to be struck between love and lack of love. Perhaps there would be little purpose to our lives were we never to have adversity.

It already does. It's all a matter of perspective.

Imagine all the people, living life in peace.. wooohooo ooouuuuuu

Again, "negativity" has played a big role in making progress.

Now, you could possibly say that war and poverty are human constructs and that we could solve them if we weren't so negative. To that I'd say "maybe", but also add that to a large extent war and poverty have become a lot more "positive" solely as a reaction to "negativity". That is to say...you could make the case that poverty is the result of a human-created system that looks on the poor "negatively". But even then, to a large degree, things have gotten a LOT better for the poor in many countries. In many places there are social programs and humanitarian businesses providing aid to the poor. If nothing else, at least people usually don't drive the poor away with whips and sticks. Point being...things kind of suck, but we're making some progress. progress which is sort of driven by NEGATIVITY.

But disease is to a large extent another matter. Even if positivity stops a man from beating you because you're poor, the bacteria and viruses and worms in your bofy don't give one single flying **** about your attitude. It doesn't take a positive attitude to kill the flukes in your liver, it takes MEDICAL SCIENCE to kill the flukes in your liver. And a LOT of science is driven by negativity.

Your post is rather negative man.

@garathe_den: Why?

That sounds like a really fucking boring world. Where'd you get your fun out of the internet?

Well...might be too extreme to say all religions in general. There are a lot of religions that (genuinely) promote peace.

Christianity has hurt and continues to hurt so many people, as has Islam, based on them being a different creed or ethnic group or sexuality.

That kind of hate I don't welcome, and anything that promotes discrimination in such a way should be done away with.

But as I said, there are religions that are very peaceful and don't set out to judge/discriminate and/or hurt people for being different or not being followers. So to say the world would be better without religion is really too general of a statement for me to have stated.

@garathe_den: Don't compare Christianity and Islam the same way. Christianity is not going around killing people for their beliefs. In fact Christians are being killed just because they are Christian. Christians are being told by their governments to give up their beliefs for the sake of political correctness in the United States.

I never compared Christianity and Islam in the way that you are describing. I know that Christians are being killed for not being Muslims, in many Islamic countries.

But I don't like Christianity for what it stands for. The Bible is extremely outdated and should really not be taken literally at all. It doesn't fit in with today's society. Christianity has ruined people's lives, and the fact that it's just a book that was written by a collection of ancient people who were just trying to figure out what they were doing on Earth, shows its age. People back then had no idea about some of the things they were trying to explain. They just wanted to make some sense of life. It was an effective way to try to control people, to make them fearful of consequences, and is still used in that way today.

Some Churches are more open minded than others though. Though the open-mindedness usually goes against the Bible, it's nice to see that there are some that are becoming more relaxed about it.

@garathe_den: Out dated when did the Ten Commandants become outdated. The very foundation of our law is based on the Ten Commandments. Have you ever read the Bible? If not maybe you should, you might find it enlightening.

That's why I love Catholicism. It sticks to the same traditions today as it did way back when. It's pretty amazing how it survived thousands of years adhering to the same beliefs.

With no negativity internet forums and Twitter would be very dull places.

It will implode into itself.

And I couldn't imagine a world without "rage quitters".

The large majority of Republican politicians (and their religious right supporters) in the US wouldn't survive in such a world.

we need a bit of negativity

Sounds dull and trite. Impossible in any case. Also, if you really wanted to make your life "negativity-free" you could works towards it and nail it.

Just wait until the liberal utopia comes full circle and you'll be living the dream TC

It would be a world without people....and animals as well I'd imagine.

A world without negativity is just a world without an "L" in it.

I can't take your OP seriously when you include school because "homework is boring".

Anyway, I'd like to see a world without negativity, just not one without hardship. Hardship is what allows me to be happy, by comparing the good I have today with the bad I overcame yesterday.

Let's see, If we combine all those things then we'd get a bunch of constantly smiling idiots who'll likely die because of the share stupidity.

@gamerguru100: Look buddy, I can't imagine a life without waking up every morning, turning on the tv and watching a news reporter reporting dozens of civilian casualties in some 3rd world middle eastern country. I just can't.

You mean a world of pussies? No thanks, I'll pass.
