Negativity bad for one’s health

-

I was blown away when I read the June 19th review Mr. Magner published in our wonderful newspaper. After reading his depressing bio, it is understand­able why he is such a negative person each time I read one of his reviews.

There are two kinds of critics and one is a reviewer, which is an analyst, commentato­r, judge or a pundit; while the other kind is a detractor, which is a person who attacks, finds fault or a backseat driver.

Mr. Magner, while you are on the Island seasonally, why not take the Island way and turn that attitude around from detractor to reviewer. You are on the negative side of the line and need to live on the positive side for a while and while here, perhaps you will become a better critic.

We attended the Million Dollar Quartet at the Confederat­ion Centre and all those heads in front of me and around me were bopping in their seats the whole 90 minutes of entertainm­ent; it was an uplifting experience to be brought back to your youth.

You should try that transforma­tion sometime due to the fact that negativity is bad for your health.
