Why does the negative aspect of us express itself more vocally than love and gratitude, which remain wordless yet abundant?

definition
"The negative must shout to be heard, for it thrives on noise, while love and gratitude are vast silences that resonate in the heart, too profound for words."
According to Osho, the negative has to be vocal because it cannot speak through silence; it survives by shouting. Love, gratitude, and the positive are vast and self-evident—too big for words—so they radiate wordlessly as a silent is-ness that is sensed rather than said. Loud complainers are a tiny, unrepresentative minority; ignore them or heal them, and trust the quiet fragrance of real love.
Bad feelings shout because they can’t be quiet, but real love is so full it’s felt in silence, not said in words.
Why this matters practically
- Stop overvaluing loud negativity; it's not representative.
- Rely on silent presence and gestures over forced words of love.
- Focus on healing and inner silence instead of reacting to noise.
