The most curious thing about the human mind is to believe something and make it come true – to create a mind full of delusions about which there is no truth. No evidence nor fact.
Creating a stream of negative thoughts, hateful or nasty ideas about other people or groups we have little understanding about. Concinved we are right, we neither seek to justify these thoughts nor correct them. It’s the fact that you think you are right that will prove you right – yes? Occassionally, arrogance or ignorance will be used to defend these untruthful ideas even to the point of violence and division. Can we reverse this and simply assume we have so much more to learn?
Don’t give power to things you have assumed – don’t imagine anything – give your power / concentration to reality. Acknowledge your reality in a positive way – giving credit for things that are working. Grace and humility work best.
Sometimes thinking negative things or creating delusions about others distorts your own peace of mind, but it’s your choice… it is your peace of mind.
