positive sentiment

Description

A positive sentiment is a form of self-suggestion that masquerades as genuine joy while conveniently forgetting others’ flaws. It often dons the elegant mask of peace of mind, excusing one’s escape from reality. Socially lauded, yet overuse transforms it into a hypocritical theater called “positive posing”. Ultimately, it becomes an automatic device that monitors one’s feelings like a security camera, converting them into fuel for the ever-hungry desire for approval.
