“To be really positive and to be cruel at the same time is a terrible thing, luckily, it is impossible to do both. ”
— Umberto Eco
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is truly positive, they radiate kindness, hope, and good feelings. Being positive means they want to uplift others and make the world a better place. Cruelty, on the other hand, involves hurting others, whether it's through harsh words or mean actions. It’s impossible for a person to genuinely spread positivity and be mean at the same time, because positivity and cruelty are completely opposite ways of behaving. For example, think about a person who always encourages their friends and helps them feel good about themselves; they can’t be truly positive if they’re also saying hurtful things or causing people pain. By focusing on being genuinely positive, you naturally avoid being cruel, creating a better environment for everyone around you.
