This
Linking Words
essay discusses both perspectives and why I believe that the arguments for seeking
solutions
Use synonyms
are stronger. There are two main reasons why people believe that we must be accepting of bad
circumstances
Use synonyms
. First of all, we often cannot avoid bad situations. Since these situations can’t always be avoided
it’s
Use synonyms
best to just accept the reality.
For instance
Linking Words
, economic downturns can lead to the company we work for going bankrupt and in
this
Linking Words
case, we should not feel hard done by if we lose our job.
In addition
Linking Words
, unnecessary stress can be caused by dwelling on our current
circumstances
Use synonyms
. If we are accepting of our
circumstances
Use synonyms
this
Linking Words
can allow us to maintain a positive mood and to continue enjoying our life despite a setback.
However
Linking Words
, others argue that we should have a proactive attitude and find
solutions
Use synonyms
to any negative predicament. The main benefit of
this
Linking Words
approach is that it may lead to stress which helps to motivate us to find
solutions
Use synonyms
.
For instance
Linking Words
, if we lose our job we should focus on finding a new job to solve the problem of being unemployed.
Additionally
Linking Words
, focusing on
solutions

can divert some of our negative emotions
such

as a feeling of bad luck or guilt into more positive emotions
such
Linking Words
as feelings of empowerment in our ability to solve our problems. In conclusion, I believe both sides of the argument have merits.
However
Linking Words
, I believe
it’s

better to focus on finding
solutions
Use synonyms
because it increases the likelihood of solving our problems and maintaining a positive mental attitude, which is far more important than the benefits of avoiding stress by being accepting of our
circumstances
