Homo (common) sapiens (wisdom) flaw ... misread as floss? Tis a frill material or substance as the metaphor on pseu*Dio goes ...

Something strangely different? There's a new book out on Speaking to Strangers ... even the bible indicates they could be angels ... of either shade! Aereis ...

Our minds determine our reality's character. If we see awfulness in everything, our lives will be awful. If we always find something to be thankful for, we'll be happy. We'll endure adversity. It’s just common sense.

Only aboard a ship of fools is such an idea common sense. In a grander context it passes for nonsense.

Enduring adversity is less about fabricating a reason to be happy and more about persevering with the knowledge that adversity, no matter how persistent, is not the absolute shape of reality. We are more shaped by the reality which surrounds us than we are the shapers of that reality.

Difficult to learn from the things we believe we control. We look at such things as disposable tools and not cherished teachers.
 
Rule ONE in Laid out indiscretions exposed:

When caught flat out ... deny, deny, eliminate, reject ... thus displaced altruism!

Second choice; keep the common folks confused, naive and in the dark! One has to go there to observe it as political science (science being a vision)!

Some cohorts of Erasmus were burnt at a stake for criticising the authorities for not teaching according to the Great Bible that stated: "teach my children"! Thus MS Information ... as Delilah to get over ... love is a dark flowering ... good for a break for breaking the stress ... some dip into emotions permanently and think no different! Myths have distinct eternal layers ...

Consider Galileo's vision: "I cannot believe that a great unknown power that gave intellect, care and discretion ... then forbade the use of the forsaid!" (perhaps paraphrased as in a Nell of confusion exactness is improbable permutation).

My resolution; I just know so little but working on getting the next stage ... Shakespearean extraction? From here I try and work it out ... one chit or bit at a time ...
 
It is a great human curiosity of how uncommon common sense really is in some cases of psyche! That straight from the darkness of sol ...
 
Let us visit the nearest publican and drink, moderately, to that light with only the eyes ... perhaps with assistance with ears, nose, mouth and thy's kin ... the largest organ in the human body that is all broken up over the eternal sense of shady humus ...

Imagine shattered hopes in those below god's chosen hierarchy! Said by an stoic authority to be eliminated emotionally! A sad song must be sung ... thus dirges!

What I said is that our minds affect the way we see things. That's quite different than saying that they alter the reality itself. It isn't that we can think things into reality. It's that we change the way in which we choose to see what is actual.
 
One must get the mind (sol) in connection with the hart LANs to allow balance! It may be vertical and require some asses to support what the successful wouldn't stoop to do ... labour must be eliminated ... thus leisurely learning? Some myths, stories, ballads, etc, may be prerequisite. Those MS Understanding the story may miss the theme ... a conspiracy of lesser power?

Few can handle such communications without fear of contagion ... is that integral or essence gathered? Ghosts of past experience trashed ...

Look what the Caesar's did to the libraries of the world ... 2000 years ago!
 
Debt's a spiritual matter. To owe means to be owned. It's better to live a simple life than one in debt. You've too much house if you've more than one mortgage. Be smart about borrowing to open or grow a business. Avoid owing and being owned.

And the things we see and experience utterly influence our mind. In our privileged worlds we often forget that some people endure unbelievable suffering, and the only journey they know is suffering. The idea that positive thinking can undo all experiences of suffering is utter crap. For many in the world, their experience of suffering is so pervasive they lack the ability (some for a time, some for longer) to "choose to see" things differently . It is paternalistic, arrogant, and in some cases (ie" severe depression) downright dangerous, to suggest otherwise.

That may well be fair comment, however I believe your words here apply to a minority of the world's population, certainly a minority of North America's population. The words I offered are spoken in general and I believe are quite apt for the majority of people.
