Why is fiction predominantly negative?


Fiction is a class of literature that comprises works of imaginative narration. It is something invented, imagined, and made up.


We all cherish fiction for how it ignites our imagination and sends shivers down our spine, especially when a character is swept away by emotions that we, too, might experience in our lives. It's the joy of storytelling that we all relish.



Recently, there has been a surge of difficult-to-conceive fictional stories. These stories often carry a heavy dose of negativity and, at times, seem illogical, with unsettling elements that can be pretty disturbing. This excessive negativity can linger in a person's mind, making it difficult to relax and sleep peacefully at night.


Sometimes, I wonder if humanity tests its endurance by stretching a rubber band until it loses its elasticity, leading to devastation.


Some argue that it is just plain imagination. Still, this artistry that overpowers one's imagination does not lift spirits, and it just gives plain darn nightmares. I also agree that after turmoil comes spring, which is beautiful, and an individual tends to embrace it with self-composure and dignity since he has seen the ugly side.


Life is already so complicated, and the eggs in our basket are cracking either due to our actions or the circumstances that unfold, leading to more struggles as we brush our fate fondly with the hope of brightening our destiny.


As writers, let's strive for a more balanced approach in our fiction, eliminating the overwhelming negativity that can hinder development in all aspects. A well-rounded narrative is key to engaging and uplifting our readers.


Mantra for today: Negativity of all forms shuts the door of progress

Mind your business!

Mind is a restless organ, and it can drift from one place to another in a jiffy. This drifting does not need the purchase of a ticket. The advantage is that we are ticketless, and there is no one to penalize us for it.

However, chances are that our mind will not always think of pleasant things. It will mostly think of unfortunate things that have happened upon thy self. This will give us thoughts of people associated with it and the circumstances conjoined to it.

Result?

We stiffen up and forget to breathe normally, which can delay the secretion of hormones to our body. That moment, will not matter, but eventually our body will get taxed by its lack of secretions.

What is the problem?

Problem is that mind if not alerted of its thoughts will always think negative and this thinking will give small jolts to our body, and it will eventually tax us as our body ages.

Solution?

Mind and Negativity are a century old problem. It cannot be derogated immediately. However, once we start getting aware of our thoughts then, we can help control our mind and its thoughts.

We all are the children of one Creator. There is no one born with wrong intentions. Circumstances make a person do a wrong act. Forgive and Forget is the mantra but again not easy to do. But, staying detached from any person, action, and circumstance will help a person avoid negativity in their minds.

Awareness of the action you perform or think can lead to freedom for all the sufferings that thy man has bestowed upon himself.

Be in the moment when your mind is thinking of things. You will love to analyze your own mind and your own thoughts and eventually be proud of it.

Mantra for today: Mind is yours. Take ownership of it.
