Should positive people have a positive attitude about negative people? Or, do they get a ‘free pass’ with this one?

 *

“Positive thinkers”! Beware what you beware. A negative person might only be someone who knows more than you about a shared illusion. His greater courage relative to your cowardice would result in an accuracy experienced by you as a “contamination.”

In praise of the skeptic: If accurate thinking is your goal, you need both Yes and No. Reality doesn't change with positive and negative thinking. It comes into view.

Self-improvement and being content with oneself are in contradiction. We alternate between them or remain confused: maintenance of the one and progress with the other requires that we be more precise with what we love and hate about ourselves.
