It depends on the process. In maths , when you add 2 negatives you get a negative number. However, when you multiply 2 negatives you get a positive number.
Similarly, if you are thinking about 2 unrelated negative thoughts, the result will be negative. If however, you are thinking about a negative thought of another negative thought, then the result may be negative neutral or a positive thought.
People used to say that it is only for the theoritical. But it is also practical, that people don't understand in words..... minus into minus = plus... if you meet two idiots, you will gain to see something in their words...there will be quite meaning in their rubbish words...just try with those persons whome you always used to avoid....
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
