You're right! We'd have to find a 12 step program.

I heard a discussion on the radio yesterday about "The Secret". A psychologist was saying that some people who read this book are blaming themselves for bad things that happened to them even though there is nothing that they could have done to prevent the action. Example, rape victims are blaming themselves for being raped because they must have had negative thoughts that caused this to happen to them. Also that proponents of LOA say that the holocaust was the Jews fault because of their negativity.
I have not read the book, just heard this very brief commentary, but the jist of it was that if we embrace this philosophy, and bad things happen to us, it is our fault. I'm sorry, but no matter how positive you are, bad things do happen to good people.

Right on Marilyn! It's things like that that I really found upsetting about the whole thing. That just sets us all up for depression and instability.

...and for not taking responsibility for how we deal with life's ups and downs,
which is the real key to happiness.

You are so right, Judy. Look at Job in the Bible. He had more reason than any of us to be negative, but he never was. If we maintain our faith through good times and bad we can stay strong and handle anything that we need to. It's not always easy, but we can pull through and be stronger from the experience.
I just hope and pray that we will not be tested to the extreme.
