Conundrum

My best friend is trying to convince me that positive outlook pays off and is worth investing in the same way one would invest in a relationship and put in efforts to make it work. There’s nothing wrong with positive thinking; of course. I don’t mind other people doing it-the same way I don’t mind other people’s religious convictions. Everybody is entitled of freedom of mind and lack of one. I have to admit that positive thinking is very tempting. I do want to believe that there’s hope for this world; I do want to believe that people are generally good at heart. Even more-I need to believe that. There’s just one problem-I must have proofs. Oh, wait-aren't those proofs called “miracles”? I could use one-and then pass it on to someone else. Maybe that’s the trouble-people are not willing to share their good fortune.

 “All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” True, but it comes with a catch. You can’t fight evil unless you become evil.

I’m not sure what I’m trying to say-I’m only sure that saying it will make no difference what so ever. I wish I knew what could.
