I think I am angry towards religions/self-help, because those were part of the basis for my wife leaving me.

that video really opened my eyes. i can see that I'm just a passive-aggressive co-culprit....nm - x Jan 9, 07:47 3
- have you ever seen it? I'm pretty sure you would weep. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 07:49 2
  - oh, god no. i hate that sort of thing....nm - x Jan 9, 07:49 1
    - it's worse than you probably think. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 07:50
i haven't read it, but, if it helps put people a more positive headspace, then, that's great. - Andie Jan 9, 07:37
Carrie has it and really likes it. The book is little more than a motivational type thing. - Jim Jan 9, 07:33 18
- And she has the book on CD...not the movie thing. -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 07:34 9
  - hmm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:35 8
    - Half of our disagreements are due to my nagativity... -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 07:36 7
      - Is that a typo? -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 07:48 1
        
        heh...yes it is. but a funny one. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 07:49
      - hmm, sounds vaguely familiar. - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:40 4
        
        Without actually being involved, just going by what you've shared... - Jim Jan 9, 07:44 3
        
        hmm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:55 2
        
        Yeah...sounds like you were being asked to do a whole lot of giving and no taking... - Jim Jan 9, 07:59 1
        
        ehh, dont get my wrong - tRuMaN Jan 9, 08:01
- hmm. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:34 7
  - Yeah...I don't buy into the whole, "if I think about it enough, I'll get whatever I want"...but focusing on the positive - Jim Jan 9, 07:35 6
    - true. it would probably be a better world if everyone focused on the positive. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:36 5
      - I'll also say this...when she does her "Secret thing"...we do tend to get sweet parking spaces at the mall and stuff... - Jim Jan 9, 07:37 4

        aww. would you like to buy my perpetual motion energy creation machine? - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:59
        
        you're cracking me up. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 07:58
it's new age shit. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 07:30 5
- looking at wikipedia - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:31 4
  - that part sounds lovely. They take it much further. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 07:32 3
    - hmm, k. like I said - tRuMaN Jan 9, 07:33 2
      - ~Everyone has a secret but can they keep? oh no they can't~ - Epiphany Jan 9, 07:38
      - I saw it for free on Youtube. the positive thinking part is nice. However, the author uses atrocious research and scholarship to boost - loosilu Jan 9, 07:38
