Why does it seem to me that some will always see things negatively and NEVER see the good and positive that God does on the individual level in the midst of the storms of life? Is it the glass half full/empty mindset or something far deeper?
I suspect in many cases, people with a negative outlook suffer from self-pity which is a form of pride. And I suspect some are negative because they truly believe they know the ways things ought to be. That is also pride.
