There's a big difference between taking action to make things better for yourself and others (relieve suffering) and dwelling on negativity. You can take positive action while focusing on the positive outcome, mire yourself in self-pity and take no action, or take positive action while dwelling on the negative aspect of whatever it is you desire to change. In any given situation, we have a choice in how we think about it and the emotions that we feel. There's that old saying, "God, grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to accept those things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference."
