A Peale Paradox

'"The power of positive thinking" in this hour of humanities' stinking is insanity. When we kill and maim in our free will democracy game its hard to remember we hold a distinction as the highest form of life. Animal cannibal what heights of intellect do we dare to claim as we slaughter in the name of some hypocritical ideology? '"The power of positive thinking" is reeking of murder while we positively speak and call it war.

How very true and sad this angle of reality is...a seemingly evolved species with the impetus to stop killing senselessly. There is always a "reason" and a rationale behind the murder...which never suffices as good excuse to me...ever!! Great write and a well deserved feature! Much love, Steve
