Simply put, the negativity comes from expectation. It's not from a lack of recognition of what amazing things humans have done, but from wanting and believing that we can do better. The same applies to complaining about one's country, oneself, etc. Complaining is only really bad when it gives way to hopelessness and inaction. Sometimes it's more of a deterrent against complacency and can be seen as constructive. I think it's important to strike a balance where you hold onto the positive and still hope to overcome the negative --to see problems, but as opportunities.
