Negativity is our own doing. We are the people who choose to undermine, who choose to destroy, who choose to treat reputations as Aunt Sallies, institutions as edifices to be plundered of dignity, achievers as targets to be despoiled of honour.
When we are not participants, when we are not involved in a dialogue, but are mere recipients of a monologue, we have no power left to us other than that of complaint.
