True Story

Me: This place is awful I told you I didn't want to be here

Mom: Oh stop being so "Glass half empty"

(Later)

Mom: The waiters are so unprofessional and the food is half eaten!

Me: Don't be negative! Its not half eaten! Its half there!

@MISTERWONKA7 Haha! Yes!

My very dear friend who espouses the idea that we create our reality by our thoughts wanted me to help him bring back a sailboat from Annapolis in February. He was adamant that positive thinking would cover any of my expressed concerns about the weather. The brutal weather and a couple of storms later which nearly killed us impressed upon me that while leaning toward the positive is likely a good idea, the universe has thoughts of it's own and you better damn well align yourself with them.

Hilarious. Yeah, you're not the only one with 'thoughts,'... 'positive' or otherwise. Apparently, some thoughts take precedence over others.

The purpose of Peace is that we all hate each other, but lets not kill each other. If everyone loved each other, peace would not be necessary

I think you should have told him "just to stay positive", and after he would have realised that it isn't so simple you could have had serious talk. Now he still belives that staying positive cures all the probles (other) people have. Or at least thats what I would do.

[Darusdei]

why didn't you say it? i would've, so would've my friends to me.

and probably even joked about it...

Ed, or proteanview. Though I endeavor to be positive in spirit and behavior, I find myself challenged due to the human condition. As one that works at my spiritual and positive nature and wishes other's the same, I at times fail to live up to that emphasis of seeing the better side of my human counter parts. I regroup, collect my thoughts and if needed my friends are welcome to help me regain my positive composure. Friends can be tactfully honest with me as I with them. I may need a reminder.

Haha, that was a nice anecdote. The guy sounds more than a little selfish, opinionated. If he's talking at you it's self-therapy, which you seemed to have worked out. Let him work through it and come back when he can be a bit more humble and a bit more fun to be around.

Your friend probably isn't as smart as you and can offer no valuable insight into your issues.

Also your friend probably wanted to be told himself to think positive, he wasn't giving advice to you he was giving it to himself using you as a proxy.

[HomoCyborgZombie]

That isn't hypocrisy.

This is in the moment. God damn.

[911truthseekers]

Stand up for yourself, and show him... thats what real friends do, and if he cant see that... then he may have some denial issues, or should I say closed mindedness.
