So much in life is negative, it's a definite relief to run across the positive. For example, sample the greats of literature, from Plato to Dickens, from Tennyson to Dylan Thomas; glean from them those meanings that cross the streets of life, bringing faith where there is none, hope where it has gone, happiness beyond its lack, never ever looking back to those who wrote in the throes of the grief of the negative, but instead looking ahead to those who wrote for relief on a positive note.
