you are right just because you are a good person doesn’t mean that you wont make mistakes or like you said burn your hand. thinking that is just naive.

Hi David,

I really do.

While belief of thinking can affect events, it doesn’t mean that there’s no other factor that can affect the events.

I fundamentally disagree with the ideas of the law of attraction, and I don’t think your arguments here help – you still seem to have this underlying belief that our thinking can affect events.

I have worked in medicine many years. Mostly in ER’s and Urgent Cares. I have seen children get meningitis and die – now preventable with an immunization. I have seen people killed or badly hurt in auto accidents even though they were doing all that was right at the time. I agree that there is a self fulfilling prophecy that happens when you tell yourself over and over that you can’t, aren’t worthy etc… BUT, there is an element of uncertainty. Chaos! S*** happens. No amount of caution, thinking, speaking stops it. You can’t get paralyzed by it. Your attitude can help you get through it. Sometimes it is overwhelming for the person and that is when friends and neighbors have to step up and give of their time and talents to help. That is why we have to protect the weak and provide for the poor. Everybody does not have to be financially equal, they do deserve the chance to be clean, dry, safe and well fed. Chaos happens and no amount of attitude prevents it, no amount of action avoids it.

You’re welcome, Michelle.

Thanks for reminding me of “being in the moment”. I really need to be in the moment, sometimes.
