The more I read through my post, the more I realize I have this tendency to look toward the negative in things, so I apologize for that.
Recognizing that tendency will serve you very well. But, you have no need to apologize.
It is really easy for me to be judgmental.
You'll see the world much differently if you do it without judging. Bravo that you also see yourself doing this too.
I suppose I have learned to question everything to really understand it and, over the past few years, I have applied that questioning to everything.
Overcoming the negative tendency combined with a non-judgemental outlook can only lead to better questions and answers.

Good luck and good wishes.
