I wouldn't mind choosing negative if it is necessary to uphold a virtue such as truth, justice, honesty etc.

It depends on the situation. The situation doesn't always call for a positive statement. If truth in a given moment is negative, we have to say it even if it isn't pretty. It's how we deliver negative information that's key. Also, how often we choose to deliver the negative information is key, too. If we find that every time we open our mouths we've got something negative to say, we'd better start shoving our feet all the way into our great big mouths.

Sometimes it takes a negative to prove the positive . I prefer positive over negative - but - to maintain positive , you might need a pinch of the other stuff for a moment .

Well I'd say the way and the tone of manner a person asks a question I might respond in the same manner. If it were NEGATIVE then I mind respond in the same manner.

Because it is often the case that a negative statement is what is appropriate. Not everything deserves respect and support.

Judgmental. i do no longer carry or use something against human beings yet I in many circumstances locate myself silently comparing my ethical standards to those of others, I continuously assume them to have an identical standards as myself.

Not every situation or every person is inherently entitled to not be offended just because they happen to be wrong. Otherwise, you're feeding their ignorance, and that certainly does perpetuate a culture of idiots.

Sometimes it's appropriate.
If I've told someone 15 times a postive statement to get them to leave me alone, maybe it's time for a negatvie statement?

As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but sometimes you have to beat it with a mackeral to get it to understand why you're doing it.

sometimes the negative has a better outcome in the long run.
