#positivityandnegativityarebothrequiredtosolveproblems — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Things absolutely can get better but action is necessary for that to happen. To solve a problem, one must first acknowledge and understand it. Negativity without positivity is a dead end, but positivity without acknowledging the negative realities of the world is equally so. And the person pointing out a problem doesn't need to be the one fixing it--sometimes different people have different roles they are best suited for in the political project. However, the people working to solve a problem must work in tandem with the people identifying and analyzing it. And so, the positive solution can only arise from understanding and facing the negative, from understanding and confronting the obstacles to that solution.
