[@India_357]

I always think of the law of polarity when i hear talks on positivity , in that you can’t experience it without having felt or experienced negativity . If that makes sense ?

[@dineshsharma2130]

Enjoyed the talk but not the production - someone needs to turn the lights on in there (not a you problem i know ! )

React v respond - loved that bit
