I came to the following conclusion:

When a human enters into a state of strictly being critical of someone/something else, we lose the ability to see any of the good out of the entity, and actually negate any good. The opposite is also true, when something becomes accepted overall as “good”, no criticism can come its way, even if it’s being offered to provide benefit. One perfect example of this is when the World was looking upon Hitler as a prime example of someone who could bring a broken, destroyed country from the pits of utter destruction to a world super power in less than 10 years. When he began committing aggression against inhabitants of German (key event: Kristallnacht), no one wanted to act because at that time there was a strong interest in Germany and how they turned the country around. This put the support for the Nazis in “decline” – but didn’t push anyone to action. Today, people negate the fact that Hitler was ever admired by any institutions of the Western world, which is a lie in of itself. When the US was still experiencing The Great Depression, and Germany was on the upswing (mid 1930s), we sent finance specialist and economists to study the model Germany had taken to see if it could work for the USA (see here, or here). We didn’t treat the aggression of Hitler against the Jews as a serious matter because of the pedestal we had placed him on (which now many people will claim never existed). Today, when we speak of Saudi Arabia, it’s in mostly bad light. The same when many Americans talk about their own nation – war president, illegal war, economy in shambles (it’s not), etc.. We become so focused on the bad, that we negate and don’t acknowledge any of the good that exists today.

No matter how bad things ever become, the future can always be seen as bright. There are many examples to support this: the rise of Japan after WWII as an intellectual super power, Ireland becoming one of the fasting growing economies in Europe (before the IRA announced the end of their armed struggle), co-op (or listen here) farm groups in Mexico competing successfully with large and even subsidized farmers from the USA and Canada.

If it wasn’t for positive outlook and people driven to make it happen, those things would not have taken place. People driven by short term goals that helped lead to long term success were/are the reason these things are possible (even in the worst of conditions). Sometimes, these successes do not occur in the life of the people who helped promote the movement for a positive outcome, which doesn’t matter because it’s about benefiting the whole.

Remember: smile, it confuses people
