Apparently there was a study done that shows being negative is actually good for people. I found this interesting and just wanted to share it with everyone here.. because well, I get annoyed by people who think that excessively positive attitudes actually are good for us. So anyways here is a quote from the article and the link to that article.

"The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments, which Prof Forgas said showed that a "mildly negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, accommodative and ultimately more successful communication style.""
