Thinking in the negative tends to be a commonplace attribute of people these days....all we have to do is listen!
People complain, gossip, nag, belly ache, and all the other words that characterize the incessant negativity that seems to be sweeping the world.
Yes there are wars, natural disasters, famines, etc...and these seemingly eternal realities produce a subliminal fear; yet there is a mysterious strength in mankind!?
A strength that comes from hope. The vision of a brighter day? The mental picture of happiness or fulfillment? These visions carry us on....yet too many hopes are fallacious and selfish thus pushing people into despair and addictions.
That's the problem today! Too many people making a living on drumming hope...a hope that sounds good but produces nothing but debt! Too many liars, false prophets, and hypocrites! It is hard to find the hope that doesn't disappoint!
Even religion has ventured into the realm of offering false hope! The venturing away from the clear and explicit teachings of God is happening in our faith based communities today....all because of negative thinking and fear!
It's time for someone, or a group of someone's to start believing in the hope that doesn't disappoint! Then maybe, just maybe, in this sea of negativity an island of hope will appear!
