In my experience, negative emotions are not bad, but are called negative because they drain energy. Being sad makes me fatigued, being angry--while a short burst of intense energy--eventually tires me out.
Some say that getting upset or angry doesn't solve anything. Yet for me, it can be a source of power, a catalyst for change. Like the destruction of the environment makes me sad and a good deal paranoid, and I use these emotions to fuel constructive tasks like making an effort to reduce my consumption. Tasks like this alleviate feeling paranoid and sad and harmonize my life with my ethics.
Furthermore, I'm not into the limitless positivity/white-light business. There are people out there who can hurt me, and it is stupid for me not to take the necessary actions to defend myself. It is not my job to "fix" these people. To be a doormat in an attempt to find the light within them shows disrespect for myself and for the huge amounts of resources that brought me to this place. I am not going to abandon my efforts for the sake of trying to dig out the good in someone else.
Sometimes you have to love people from a distance.
Furthermore, when all there is, is white light--there is no white light. Once something is all, it is nothing. Difference causes things to be. When all "black light" or darkness is removed, "whiteness" ceases to exist because "whiteness" relies on an idea of "not-whiteness."
