@CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre Bless you: I hope that shit disease leaves you well alone.
@Whiterangey if Castle’s been ranting and raving about something you’ve said, it’s only because you, eloquently, always tell it as it is and you’ve hit a nerve. Well done you. At some level Castle and the others know they’re fucked, and the cognitive dissonance they’re experiencing must be very uncomfortable. It’s no wonder so many of them suffer from depression, anxiety, and online tantrums ... which disappear.
As for all this Law of Attraction nonsense and the pressure to be positive all the damned time, books such as The Secret say that people who have suffered horrible things in their lives like shit diseases, dying in plane crashes, natural disasters or unexpected audits from HMRC only have themselves to blame. If bots are convinced that they’re the authors of their own misfortune they must be tying themselves in knots trying to avoid thoughts or situations which have the vaguest whiff of negativity.
Someone needs to tell them that a certain degree of negativity, sensible pessimism, or plain realism could save their lives. As Spike Milligan said, “No, flying's not dangerous. Crashing's dangerous!"
