Great further reading on this sentiment from academic/philosopher Byung-Chul Han if you're interested. He makes a pretty entertaining case against positivity in his book "The Burnout Society."
"...Because Otherness is disappearing, we live in a time that is poor in negativity. And so, the neuronal illnesses of the twenty-first century follow a dialectic: not the dialectic of negativity, but that of positivity. They are pathological conditions deriving from an excess of positivity."
