Positive Thinking Is A Stupid Waste of Time
If you have ever been into some sort of rough times in life, you know the most common advice that comes flooding in from everywhere. Be positive or think positive. But, have you ever questioned that what does positive thinking really mean. Most of us have a general perception that it helps in dealing with the bad situations , or its generally more preferable over negative thinking, as a way of living. But, Is that so?

How to deal with unpleasant emotions.
Most of us find it really difficult to deal with the unpleasant emotions. Whenever we are in the grip of any unpleasant emotion, be it anger, greed jealousy or hatred, we lose all the reason, clarity and intelligence. We always come out of these emotions battered and bruised. Either we hurt ourselves or we hurt others. This is everyone’s story. For some of us living with anger, jealousy or hatred has become a part of life. We have become habituated to them. The irony is that we don’t even try to understand why we end up falling into the same pit again and again. We appear to be so intelligent on the outside but all that is a sham. We have an opinion about politics, religion, sports, environment or economy, however, we are totally oblivious to what goes on in our little heads all the time. This lack of awareness about what goes on in our head is the fundamental cause of our emotional problems. We are unaware of our emotional response system. Let’s try to understand the nature of emotions and how we respond to them.
