Doing some reading on the subject of Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia. This statement is something that I believe in whole-heartedly. It comes down to the thought of positive thinking, if all your thoughts are on the negative side that is exactly what you will receive. The power of positive thinking is very hard to keep in perspective. Especially when we are being blasted by the news, because ninety-eight percent of the news is negative. But we cannot just ignore the news and ignore what is happening all over the world that is just being inconsiderate. When we live in one of the most fortunate places on earth. If you remove the non-negative feel good stories from the news and they are usually about sports or entertainment, then the news media curse quotient rises to ninety-nine percent. Well so much for the power of positive thinking. That is why it is so important in the Kwoon, the community and the world that we convey these positive thoughts. Because that is the only thing left that we can do to change society, and change the world.
“The rise and fall of images of the future precede or accompany the rise and fall of cultures. As long as a society’s image is positive and flourishing, the flower of culture is in full bloom. Once the image begins to decay and lose its vitality, the culture does not long survive.” (Fred Polak)
