That is just not true.
You don't have to interpret failure as negative.
The question is whether choices to see failure as negative is a viable rational choice.
In poker you sometimes play a bad hand and bluff to increase the return of the good hand, because your opponent will more likely think that you are bluffing when you have a good hand.
If you choose not to play bad hands at all you have an disadvantage in poker.
I think that you have a similar disadvantage in life when you elimate everything negative out of your mind.
It important to play some of the bad hands that life deals to you.
You can make the choice of not learning from any events in your life, but whether that is a good decision is an entriely different question. |
Negativety is ones own perception. One person's view of negativety is way different than another persons. If your looking for a higher up perspective on this issue, you'd then realise that you can choose your view on the situation. So would you rather choose "pain" (negativety) or pleasure (seeing the situation as a learning opportunity and growing from it).
I'm not really sure you can compare failure to a funeral. Everyone is going to die one day...so I'm not sure you can consider failure dieing.

Feeling pain is a normal human reaction. If you can't feel pain than obviously that will inhibit your ability to tell you are getting harmed.
Lastly what is rational? Your rational may be way different than someone else's rational. Is there such a thing a rational....no it's an illusion.
Hope this helped.
