Talk About Negatives Or Talk About Positives?
There are two sides to spiritual progress: one is our true nature (the positive) and the other is the collection of obstacles that prevents the realisation of our true nature (the negatives).
Whether we have a preference for hearing about the negative or the positive may depend on our disposition and capacity. Probably, not too much of one and not too much of the other: this is determined by the stage at which we are.
In truth, however, the very recognition of the negative is a positive.
That is the unity of the two truths.
