    Sedona, AZ –Negative thoughts, sometimes, in the mind, may seem satisfactory. An individual could use negative thoughts to interpret a personal situation as a means to cope.

    The flexibility to think in different directions, sometimes with negative scenarios, becomes a way, in some cases, for some people, to handle situations.

    But negative thoughts are never good. They may seem harmless most of the time, but all negative actions often stem from negative thoughts [at different degrees]. Negative thoughts go in various directions, for the self, others, and for society.

    The world has always had a problem of negative thoughts. Several wrong assumptions in the past, before the dominance of science, can be attributed to negative thoughts. Though the world has advanced and some of the basis for past negative thoughts has been scraped, they remain elsewhere, sometimes collecting into general interpretations for several situations.

    There are conflicts that can be traced to negative thoughts. There are reactions to situations that can be traced to negative thoughts. There are several tools of progress that even became of little value to many because of negative thoughts.

    What are Thoughts?

    Conceptually, thoughts are relays within the human mind. This means that what thinking is, are movements within the mind. What is the mind? The human mind is theorized to be the collection of all the electrical and chemical signals of neurons with all their interactions and features, in sets, in clusters of neurons, across the central and peripheral nervous systems. This says that everything else is the body, while electrical and chemical signals, with their features and interactions in sets, are the mind.

    Electrical and chemical signals have the configuration for functions. This means that they construct what represents [or interprets] the external world and the internal world to the mind, becoming the basis for memory, feelings, emotions, and regulation of internal senses.

    Their interactions define functions, while their features decide how those functions are measured or graded, for use. The process of thinking involves several features that result in relays from one set [of signals] to another. The same process occurs for intelligence, as well as for feelings, regulation of internal senses, and so forth.

    There are several labels to describe the mind, like thoughts, intelligence, and so on, but the human mind is primarily the electrical and chemical signals, how they interact, and their features.

    Some features of signals include prioritization, which is the set of signals with the most volume at any instance. Pre-prioritization is [the other] sets of signals that are not prioritized. Prioritizations/pre-prioritization define the labels attention and awareness, for example, like main vision and peripheral vision. There are also arrays, sequences of relay—old or new, intensity, principal spot and others.

    What are Negative Thoughts?

    The mind is always interpreting external situations, often from what is already in the mind. This means that sets [of signals] often find a fit [or interpretation] for situations. Many situations do not just have a memory-area [so to speak] interpretation, but they come with feelings and emotions. Some of these are good, others are bad. Negative thoughts are possible because of the memory of negative experiences by the self and others. They are often the opposite for the possibility of hope or better.

    What makes thought sometimes problematic aside the contents are the companions. These companions, also in the mind, could be sets of signals for pleasure, vengefulness, spite, fear and so forth. A person could be facing a problem, whose outlook could be bad, but would use negative thoughts to get to the end, which may then have a companion of relief, even though the scenario is unlikely and the experience is not truly wanted

    There are always distributions in the human mind, both in pre-/prioritization, leading sometimes to flares of thoughts, some of which can be negative, and then satisfying, depending on how it is applied.

    Global Negative Thoughts

    The world is a better place than before, but there are several common perceptions that prefer that the troubles are seen. Some of these perceptions can spread through the media—regular or social, becoming the dominant operational mode for people who come to adopt those thoughts. While negative thoughts were confined before, they have become more common, with a lot of conflicting events without answers that only negative thoughts present answers of some sort.

    The century might become more difficult because of the flow of negative thoughts against some of the progress that should be possible. The survival of negative thoughts, aside from those who act on them, are sometimes also with those who find them satisfactory in the mind.

    There is a recent editorial in The Gazette, Substance abuse fuels Colorado’s surge in homelessness, stating that, “As noted in The Gazette’s report, Boulder first responders are being overwhelmed by the spike in calls involving drunkenness, trespassing, indecent exposure, welfare checks, fires and overdoses, all related to homeless people. Criminal behavior among the chronically homeless is getting more aggressive, as well. Boulder County’s July 2024 Point in Time survey found nearly 40% of those interviewed said they abused “substances.” Another 30% said alcohol was their drug of choice. In other words, it’s not as simple as throwing someone the keys to a hotel room or, for that matter, a condo when their life has been overtaken by addiction and the other pathologies it causes. Housing first, often enough, is good money after bad.”

    There is a recent report on KTAR News, Opioid overdose reversal drug Narcan now available to Arizona schools, stating that, “The Arizona Department of Education is distributing opioid overdose reversal drug Narcan to schools across the state in an effort to address the crisis. The distribution is part of the School Training Overdose Preparedness and Intelligence Taskforce, also known as STOP IT. The Arizona National Guard helped distribute the first 4,000 of 16,000 Narcan kits this week to schools who requested them. The Narcan kits are provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services at no cost to the schools.”

    From Protest Signs to Missiles: Why Peace Needs Teeth
    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
