I know the feeling, it happens to me all the time, just the other day I was complaining about the price of organic plums, and nobody would take seriously.....yours The Fallen Country Squire.
Positive & negative are both needed for anything to happen, neither are good or bad. To function as a "real" human being you have to self remember which leads to the observer in oneself, a thought alone can do nothing, but one danger is "ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR" when getting into this "positive thoughts" idea, surely its all about reality and what is really happening.
