It may sound wired if I say many of us use positivism to ignore deeper problems in their life. But it's true. And I think it's something we all do, knowingly or unknowing. But the concern is if this is beneficial or harmful for us.
Positivism is a great way to show the world you are doing fine, right? We are very cleaver to use positivism this way. And when we do so, there's a high chance that without solving our real problems we focus on how to hide them and show the world how happy we are. Yousee, positivism is not bad maybe not our intentions are as well. But using positivism to mask deeper problems will not help us to solve anything.
When we stay positive that means we try to find ways to improve and do better in life. It's not like staying away from our problems. Let me give you an example!
When someone go through a relationship problem, if he/she doesn't try to solve it. Rather choose to stay positive and hopeful, it will not automatically correct everything. Also, if that person focus on something else like career or expanding family without solving the core problem then only being positive will not help. And pretending never can actually help anyone.
It's always difficult to face the deeper problems of life. We fear, we don't want to lose and try to let it be. But as I was saying it will not auto correct. And no matter how positive you are in every side of life, if there's something you need to take care of; you must. There's no stay away for this.
I hope this understanding will help you a little bit to make the right choices!
