is it negative to speak an observation? It depends how you state your observation and to whom you're speaking to and of. Everyone can easily interpret an observation (opinion) differently.. it could be taken well or make one defensive/offended.

I thought there was just writing in here. But if you mean stating an opinion, nope. Nothing wrong with it. As long as it is consise and direct, so that the readers can understand the point being made. As I always say, write for the readers and not for yourself.

perhaps a scary topic, which would lend to the fact the humans make many decisions based on fear of conflict.

well, many wrote while writing second post, lol.....as in if one spot something as negative, in the mind, that this is the place all things are seen as negative or positive, and why it say to please all is to please none, and eventually not speaking disconnect people from really being connected to each other as the same, and havinf common ground.

It all depends how you presnt it.... as a means for change or just being blunt and kind of jerkish? well, if the mind convince us at first the thought is negative, we cannot see the usefulness to make change, and discard it as negative, so many changes that could be never happen.

We create our own thoughts, in response to external stimulation.

Everyone can easily interpret an observation (opinion) differently.. it could be taken well or make one defensive/offended. yes indeed, and this offense or defensive position would be difused if thoughts were not seen as bad nor good, just building blocks to the the truth......
