Positivity me and negativity

Eureka ad-infinitum
The first thing God did after he created the world, is he gave everything names
Names are a funny thing, for as Chassidus teaches; they are only name-tags, for if one lived on an island, they would hardly have use for even their own name
So sometimes, naming, labeling something, is the simplest most accurate, hence most productive mechanism of discerning through the murky waters
Three modus-operandi there are:
Generally speaking, people are in the “me” modus-operandi
As a child, the question that continually occupies their mind is “me” – Does this taste good? Is this going to give me a pleasure reward? Or a painful consequence?
Then comes our development, ultimately into positivity!
Positivity is simply, as it sounds; loving, helping, spreading love, goodness and kindness.
And worst of all – which we in the west coming from basically good societies fail to appreciate, the incredible widespread reality of this state is – negativity.
Negativity is born in resentment, resentment is born most often in abuse, abuse is born quite simply from societies, that are not positively based.
Now only positivity makes us happy – even “me;” as our sages teach, “a constant pleasure gives no pleasure,” hence even if we achieve the “me” desires, they become stale very quickly – however positivity, love friendship, assisting others, fills a person’s soul with joy!
Unfortunately in societies that have no ethic of positivity, hence people are unhappy, like a person literally hungry cannot be happy – and this drives them to the state of negativity from jealousy – for when people are unhappy, their jealousy is roused against people, who are.
Hence this very neatly literally explains, well all of human behavior, from now till the creation of man – think about it – positivity, negativity and me.
