Years ago I had read in a technical magazine (!) that we should not allow ourselves to get into negative thinking beyond a certain level (a minimal negativity might be tolerable).

Imagine you are in a well, incidentally, and more deeper you are, more and more positive energy is needed to pull you out of that well (the depth resembles the quantity of negative energy).
