The Value of Negative Space

DH is a curmudgeon. I was thinking this morning that there is probably some value in his negative outlook to his world to our relationship. Then I heard an interview on the radio of a gentleman who was explaining that there is a certain beauty in negative reality. I totally get this from every perspective. It takes a lot of confidence in every way not to fall into the traps of either end of the spectrum. But there is tremendous pressure not to dwell in reality especially when it sucks and for some people the very fact that there is negative reality is problematic. It shouldn't be though.
