[Part I]Well, as we see, the question is very simple, and answer might be easier than the question. In fact everyone likes to have positive thinking and attitude. But this simple question shouldn’t deceive us. Because we must clarify the characteristics of thinking first! After that we can recognize which one is negative and which one is positive.A real thinking has some characteristics that consist of: source point, method and destination point. In other words, real thinking is a method to solve a problem such a way that uplifts someone from the source point (start point) to the destination point (goal). OK, if we believe that we want to think in order to solve a problem or it is an attempting to find a better situation, then it can be said that there is just positive thinking not negative. In fact there isn’t any negative thinking, what we call it negative is the absence of (positive) thinking. I should say that there are negative thoughts and ideas that they’ve grown through lack of thinking.[Part II]In above, we talked about thinking, and emphasized that negative thinking doesn’t exist but negative thoughts, ideas and energies exist. Furthermore these negative types create in mind because of lack of true thinking.In addition, we can count another characteristic of negative thoughts, and that is the review of the pasts specially the negative side of the past events. In this case, we compare the present events with the pasts. I can also say that in this case we don’t think truely in order to solve the problem but to review and remind the past events because of relieving pain briefly. In fact negative thought is a way to escape from a problem not to solve it.Finally, I should highlight that true thinking maybe doesn’t take us to the destination (goal) first, but surely it can do it with revising and perseverance.But if there isn’t any negative thinking in our world, why it is common to see these divisions a lot nowadays?

  • Actualy, you are right dear Norchung,
    in fact you want to say that we usually don't think when we want to judge something, but extract out previous thoughts and ideas in new case

    :)
  • Hi Francy
    A lot of thanks to share your thoughts with us,

    I agree with your idea completely, I think you pointed out to one of the main point of this essay: “we could also believe that true thinking is knowing the truth”.

    However, we also know that we can’t always recognize and find the truth among untruths, first; it means that we should try to find them; in fact it’s very common that we can only know some parts of truth at a moment not completely, but with continuous attempting maybe spending a lot of years, the truth shows itself to ours completely.

    We can see this procedure in our life too, when we want to implement a plan, first we try to find a good (true) method in order to manage and execute the plan, on the other hand it’s usual if our method is not the best, but experiencing and revising the method after finding the errors and faults lead us to the best method to implement the plan.

    Thomas Edison, for example, he tested a lot of methods in other to succeed but he never gave up his trying in order to invent the electric light bulb, he said in every time when I failed, I reach one step closer to the goal; it means that he found a part of the truth in each failure.

    Have a good time :)
  • Hi Nafis,
    thanks to add me as a friend
    I saw a TV show as the same name that article, yes it's called "law of attraction"
    I think some parts of that article are true, but some others need more explanation; i mean it maybe not true
    we have a proverb in Farsi that is "if you attempt (Harkat) then GOD bless (Barkat) you,

    we know that blessing and gift of the result of our attempting might not be a matterial benefits, I mean sometimes we lost something superficially but we achieve a lot deeply and virtually not the same thing losting.

    be happy and energetic (this is a positive words too :) )
  • Dear Mahmoud,

    Recently, I read an article which said if you think negatively, you will attract more negative things to your life...It's called law of attraction...

    Good time,
  • Hi Nafis,
    that's true,
    mind engages itself in a lot of things and when it encounters a problem, it's a time to produce negative thoughts

    Have a good time my friend
    :)
  • Dear Mahmoud,

    I think it's because mind likes conflict and division so it produces negative thoughts.

    Take care,
