Very true, often people can assume and think that everyone and everything is 'black and white' when a lot of the times as you say there is a large 'grey' area that isn't taken into consideration! Yes, the nature of the mind can be quite negative, and this can come from many negative beliefs that may be installed in you. For example, some event may have occured when you were younger and as a result you interpreted this as 'When I try I always fail' or some negative belief like that (This is an hypothetical example btw) and thus as a result when you want to pursue something and give it a go, the mind slips in and as you say produces conflict for example because of your limiting negative belief. I hope that helps somewhere, let me know what you think! Thank you for the kind words!
