Masonious is so powerful that he reproduces asexually through sheer will power.

Originally posted by Masonious i just don't understand how he can jump to the conclusion that, "his old acquaintance" is "always negative" if he hadn't seen him in years and only spent 30 minutes with him.

Well yes, that I agree with. I agree with a few of the generic blanket statements in this article, but not that particular anecdote. And the whole "energy flow" thing was laughable. I started thinking of psychic hotlines.

Do you walk away from her problems after 30 minutes or tell her that she's living in a self-made prison and that she's an energy vampire? If you do then yes, you are a pretentious fuckhead, but I highly doubt that's how you handle it.

lol, definitely not how I handle it.

i agree with you on many points;
the 30 minutes thing, people complain occasionally, and that people go though serious shit and need a true friend to help.

that's not what he's talking about though.
he's talking about the people that 90% of the time bitch, whine and complain incessantly- ooh, my pussy hurts- waaaaahhh!
to me it's incredibly annoying.
STFU and deal with it.
life it tough, suck it up and drive on.
when i am around people like this for extended periods of time, i think;
if i break their jaw, then they won't be able to talk for 3 months while it is wired shut and maybe they will think what comes out of it.
maybe the experience will make them grow the fuck up a little and get just hard enough where every flippin' thing isn't some trauma to drama.

Companies dictate much of the psychological world - they decide when things change and when they do not. Of course corporations are not the only distributer of mentality, but they sure do make their contributions.

Happy, content, positive people are easy to control - they react well to simple incentives and also perform well, especially when tasked with motivating others to share their viewpoint. After all, simple minds are very much attracted to simple payoffs. And so corporations prescribe things like motivational speaking and awesome little posters plastered all over cubicle walls with a really well-processed photograph of somebody performing a daunting task like climbing a mountain without gear or riding their bicycle on the golden gate bridge with cool little 1-word slogans in boldface at the bottom such as INTEGRITY or PERSEVERANCE and a handy little explanation written by some guy in an office somewhere whose sole job is to explain the relevance of motivational words to people via posters. Corporations invest in a positive mindset to reduce the side effects of not doing so - that is, to cut out things such as suicide, strike, discontent, severance turnout, the cost of training new employees, free thought. After all, Dave 2 cubicles down and to the right gets a whole lot more work done when he has posters to distract him from the triteness of making 650 copies of the IS-165 report manually because IT Business #9082305 can't spring to have the copier repaired.

"Well gee, Dave sure isn't all that good at his job, but he's got the right attitude, and that's all that counts!"

And so we have a generation of people raised and rewarded to be positive in life. Because things are always bound to look up when you only look at the bright side of things rather than the whole truth. Right?
