  • hahaha.. that was really nice! I love Labor Day!

  • If you read the book, you will discover the true, awesome power of heartfelt positivity .

  • @kurdar The main problem in drawing conclusions from "psychology tests" relates to knowledge by subjects that they are being tested. Some may , therefore, vary their response or inhibit a natural re-action in order to satisfy an examiner's expectancy.

    I agree about positive feelings if you mean attitudes , expectancies or concepts of ""intention" following emotional impact (e.g.acceptance, co-operation, hope, optimism,, remorse etc.) but there is no such thing as "positive emotion"

  • I believe she addresses that golsno. Positive feelings, like everything else, depends on situational context.

  • I think you're trying to say something, but I have no idea what it is.

  • We are entitled to be sceptical of any scientific conclusions reached as a result of tests to "induce emotions" or that therapeutic benefit ,from encouraging us to look at the bigger picture is likely. We all examine the implications of experiencing emotion and our re-action to such experience (some of us more than others!) but It is not always appropriate to extend the scope of our attention to the bigger picture e.g. a rational assessment of which may indicate something worse to come.
