Daimond,
One negative create another negativity. If somebody compare a kid with grown up what can you say. If somebody say a kid is better than adult singer, what can you say? If somebody do not know kid will go through the voice transition very soon and still comparing with established adult singer, then what can you say about the person. Is it not ultra-negative mentallity. Problem is when you defend one negativity your statement also becomes negative although it is defending the rediculous, illogical, senseless comparision. One should compare a ripe mango with ripe mango not a ripe mango with small tender mango. Why is so hurry, wait for small tender mango to grow into a sweet ripe mango.
First of all, the above points don't explain how there is negativity after every episode.
Regarding one negativity creating another negativity - No, one negative doesn't create another negativity. Rather, it is our own inherent negativity which is the creative factor here. One wrong cannot never be the excuse for a second wrong. The point is that at any moment, there are both positives and negatives existing side by side. Yet the fact, that we choose to concentrate on the negative and ignore the positive proves the point.
Let me tell a small story in this regard
(This is all in light humour π. However if you don't like it, do let me know and I will edit it. )
Anecdote
=================================================================================
A father had two sons of around 10 years who always used to fight with each other. Let's assume
their names to be X and Y. They used to fight regarding share of food, sharing of TV, etc. Now
once it happened that both the sons returned after giving History exam. On seeing their results, the
father was simply shocked ! Both his sons had failed in History ! The talk between the father
and the sons goes somewhat like this:
Father to X: How much have you got in History?
Very reluctantly with tearful eyes, X told him that he has got only 30 marks(Pass is 40).
Seeing his second son brimming with confidence, the father asked Y his marks.
Y to Father: Papa Papa you know that I have got more than X. I have got 33 marks...wooooo...hooooo
Father to Y: But that means failure...you have failed!!!
Y to Father: But Papa Papa, I have failed by 3 marks less than X. I have beaten X !
Tell me haven't I done really well?
On hearing this answer, the father went really Hakka Bakka π
Looking at his 10 year old son's serene tender face, smiling in blissful ignorance, the father simply
couldn't bring himself to point out the fallacy of the statement.
==============================================================================
Moral of the story: A wrong or poor example can never be our ideal. Rather it is the higher examples
or streams of thoughts which should be our ideal or guide.
