Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4410643, member: 668"] For what it’s worth, don’t confuse realistic thinking with negative thinking. Realistic thinking is based in the possibility that something could happen – positive, negative, or neutral. Therefore, since being undersized is a likelihood/possible enhanced risk of injury, your comment isn’t negative, but realistic. Now, if you were to insist due to his undersized stature, etc. that he will undoubtedly/certainly be injured because of it, then it would be as this view focuses solely on that one negative possibility/outcome. A lot of the ‘[I]usual suspects[/I]’ here (not implying you at all) seemingly have much difficulty in deciphering the difference, and prefer labeling others instead. [/QUOTE]
