Positives Over Negatives

Every once a while, we should let loose and let all out...
Letting off steam, it cleanses and refreshes inside out...

But in unloading our sorrows and giving off heated steam..
We might sound overly dejected and advised to see a psychiatrist. ..

Psychiatrist sounds a bit drastic as compared to a counsellor.....
Rephrase that and assume he's a highly paid counsellor...

Of course if you shop around, he can always be a she...
And her service and advice could be well worth her costly fees...

Just to put in my 2 cents worth since we're on this topic...
Of sounding off our heavy crosses and feeling over-burdened..

Guess we're not alone for life is full of challenges however you view it.....
These are problems when you look at them from another perspective..

The secret to enjoying life to the fullest is how one balances...
Straddling the fine line that separates the jolly from the melancholy...

It is an even finer line that separates the sane from acts of insanity...
There have been so many of incidents of people acting beyond human sanity...

So to be brief, and not to sound condescending at all....
Life is all about making the right choices while mucking through it all...

Count your blessings, there have been so many, even the little ones....
They are all antidotes for each negative,  strike them out one by one...

For just like the law of opposites, or physics if you must know...
There is always a reaction force when there is a force...

Likewise in life, discover the positives to offset the negative ones...
After all, life is too short to be worrisome or to suffer through it all...
