Positive vs Negative Stories

We create stories about everything we come across. Sometimes they may be right but often they are wrong. When we create negative stories we act negatively and when they are wrong the negative effect is far greater than if we had created a positive story and the positive story was wrong. So it does help to always give people the benefit of the doubt or create a potentially positive interpretation of things so that at least we give the other side a chance before we are certain of the truth.
