Pozitivní myšlení
Všeho s mírou.
Pointa tohoto postu není z vás udělat deprimované, negativní morouse, a là Marvin z Stopařova průvodce galaxií.
Pointou je se blíže podívat na myšlenkový směr, který působí... no, pozitivně - a jak to, že něco pozitivně působí, není vždy vypovídající o obsahu a skutečných následcích. I něco, co má krásný název, jako pozitivní myšlení, může mít negativní dopad, pokud se to s ním přehání, či se užívá v nevhodnou chvíli.
