Positive,Negative, Inconclusive............. An easy one,just for a change! If words are true reflection of what we think at a particular moment, then we must have to agree that positive words are the reflection of our positive thoughts! Similarly, we should agree that negative words are nothing but the reflection of our negative thoughts. That is why we are frequently advised to think positive always. We use the word positive to describe something that is really good! So at no point, the word positive is supposed to be used to describe something that we consider bad. For describing some thing bad we can always look for a suitable word that is available in our vocabulary! But, is it really that simple? Perhaps it is not that simple. There is a particular place where the word positive really means something really bad! Could you please name the place? I know that this is not a difficult quiz for my intelligent readers! Go ahead, dear readers! Find the place for us!!           |

A little tricky for me Look. One example where 'positive' means the opposite - negative/'bad' - is confirmation of a serious infection/disease - e.g. if person has been diagnosed as HIV +, they have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV], an infectious disease that can lead to death if left untreated. Is the hospital the particular place you are referring to? Positive'/'negative' words can also take on different or richer meanings on further thought/consideration also .

Yes, like Lilium, I was thinking in medical terms. As in some Russian athletes tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.
