Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true. ↗

More negatives write than call. It's a cheap shot for me to go on the air with the critical letters or E-mail I get because the reaction of the listeners is always an instantaneous expression of sympathy for me and contempt for the poor critic. ↗

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom? ↗

Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood feelings and filled them in with something new. ↗
