this is about how positive thinking is a stupid waste of time well, not all positive thinking is ******* like, if you have a goal and you are trying to meet it then of course it behooves you to be positive about it it behooves you to say yeah, i am going to get to that point or i am going to get as close as i possibly can and that is like positive thinking that is proactive - the kind of positive thinking i am criticizing are the kind of people who think that all the worlds problems can be solved simply by the act of being happy or being upbeat and positive cause it seems like in a lot of ways i belong to a generation of people that are so focused on the silver lining that they miss the ******* giant *** storm cloud heading their way you know, it's good to see the bright side but if you only focus on the bright side how can you ever address the real problems that face you not every situation should be turned into something positive there are certain things in life that just are negative and they need to be confronted not with the power of positive thinking but with the power of intelligent thinking and the power of taking action based upon intelligent thinking but most people in this country are just inert idiots they won't act unless they are acted upon they won't think unless you spoon feed their thoughts into them that's why you have all these idiots listening to ******* Rush Limbaugh they'll just sit there and nod their empty ******* head like "yeah,Rush knows what's up" Rush doe's not know what's up Rush is a ******* idiot look, our generation has some serious, serious ******* problems to face climate change and the ensuing ecological disasters couple that with over population there's going to be scarcity of resources if you live in america you are also going to have to deal with things like growing income inequality cause you know they aren't going to pass some new minimum wage thing in the near future because we also have in this country an infestation of social conservatives who become increasingly more aggressive and obstructionist as they realize they are losing their grip on the country that's just a FEW of the problems that our generation is going to have to be the ones to face and right now all i'm seeing from people is "we need to stop fat shaming people" "people need to be comfortable with their own body image" and "we need to get more rights for gays" look, that's fine that's wonderful that's a good start but those problems are insignificant compared to what awaits you and i don't ******* think you people are ready i think your sitting there with your thumbs up your *** thinking "well the world is just going to work out as it does and i'm just going to sit here and just kinda go blumby blumbly bluuummmbb and imma think happy thoughts! maybe if i think happy enough thoughts, i'll turn into peter pan and fly away to ******* neverland and i won't have to deal with any of this ****" well sorry, THAT'S NOT A ******* OPTION! your stuck here on this planet like the rest of us you might want to take some interest you might want to stop just looking on the bright side and start looking at the ******* dark side because the dark side is bigger and it's going to get bigger and bigger and bigger unless you think unless you do something about it and when i say you i don't just mean you i mean me too
