Our thinking is reflected
in our language. And if we trace the number of negative words versus positive
words about a situation we can easily derive a measure. The dictionaries give
for example that in the English language there are almost 10 time more words
describing negative emotions that words describing positive emotions. This is
obviously due to the hard experiences that humans had in maybe hundreds or thousand
years before, when the languages were formed.
But if you as a person in
a modern world you want to live in an environment of thoughts and words
fitting your current level of evolution then certainly you must be very careful
with the balance of negative and positive words or phrases about situations,
persons, yourself, society , physical reality etc. Positive words may help the
health, negative words may be like vampires to your health and other people’s
health that you discuss with an maybe insidious poison.
