Positivity just cannot change some things.

Maybe I have a different idea of what false hope is... But provided one is not deluding oneself, hope of any kind cannot possibly harm. I hope I win the lottery everytime I buy the ticket, but it hasn't happened yet and I'm no worse off. I wouldn't deny with certainty anything at all - but I also would not put down people for trying to improve the situation in whatever small ways they can.

I just don't think it's cool to discourage those who are trying to sway things our way, even if they are doomed to fail. Who knows - they might just succeed in a way we wouldn't recognise.





Why, when all around us we are presented with false dichotomies? We get Democrats versus Republicans, allopathic medicine versus alternative medicine, left versus right, light versus dark, etc. etc. Why does being positive have to be opposite to being realistic? Why are we experiencing in this forum a 'future is set' versus 'create your own reality' dichotomy?

Why aren't we seeing the whole grey area in between!? What if it's BOTH - what if the future IS set to a certain extent, but positive intentions can lessen the impact?? Or what if it's some other version that I cannot even imagine because my mind has been so conditioned to think inside the tiny boxes I get presented with?

I just wonder (for lack of a better word) why every time there's a 'doom' thread, we get 'light' threads in response (protest?), and every time there's a 'light' thread, we some 'doom' ones in response (protest?).

Good balanced observation Morgan, thanks.
It's the ego in each of us, that has a hand in this type of division.
It is presumptuous for any "side" to think that the contrasting side is lacking balance just because they offer more of their preferred focus to the threads.

I'm considered the "hearts & flowers" type, this is because I have not written about all the survival crap I have stuffed in my garage.
It is assumed that because I don't go into detail about chaos, that I am ignoring that it is happening, or that I am unaware of it's potential.
And often times I see people use such radical condescension, all based on their assumption.
Personally, I prefer to remind myself that we're all talking to ourselves here..
and all of it is recycled.
The division exists for me, when I claim a stance on either side, so I won't.
And I will always deliver from a place of humility, because i am aware that it is only my ego that thinks it knows what is best for anyone besides myself.

Peace,
Aim
