cannot eliminate the previously accumulated bad karmas
in these births, too.

 Now, the only birth left is the human birth which has the
shortest life span of finite years. Only here can a living
being reach the zenith of resistance and renounciation.
Now if you follow the rule that “In order to completely
abolish these wrong thoughts, the soul requires to inculcate
positive thoughts for a period equivalent to its period of
negative thoughts.” Then how can you eliminate the bad
karmas accumulated over the past infinite period in a span
of just few years of human life ? How can you attain
salvation without completely eliminating these bad karmas ?
To summarize,

“In order to completely abolish these wrong thoughts, the soul
requires to inculcate positive thoughts for a period equivalent
to its period of wrong thoughts.” – This rule is absolutely
wrong. If this rule is right, then a living being will never attain
salvation. But they do attain salvation. It is a proved fact.
Salvation is not possible without eradication of past karmas.
Infact, salvation literally means being free of all karmas,
liberation from the bondage of karmas. Now, how can this
be otherwise possible ?

Understanding all the above reasoning, you have to agree that
liberation from the bondage of karmas is possible only if short
term positive thoughts and feelings have the power to destroy
karmas accumulated over the past infinite period.

Now you may feel,

Q. Doesn’t this seem weird and illogical that papakarmas
binded by long-term negative feelings can be destroyed
due to a short span of positive thoughts ?

A. No. This is not at all illogical because such instances are
visible in nature, too…
