Editor,
Human nature, being what it is, our nation and our world have surely fallen into a ‘habit thinking pattern’ of divisiveness, negative attitudes, and wars. This is a very clear and present danger. We have answers to this.
Let’s be very clear about one thing: our thinking controls how we deal with all events in living our lives together.
Years ago, I was introduced to the book “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993). The application of ‘thinking positively’ has had a tremendous influence on my life. Our nation and our world desperately need application of this power in all aspects of our individual and collective lives on planet earth.
We humans can and should most certainly eliminate wars and address the destruction of our planet earth. This requires individuals accepting and living with new attitudes, new thinking, new behavior.
What is needed is a sincere desire for change, plans of action, and carrying out these plans effectively in all phases of our society. It all has to do with helping us humans understand the need to change our thinking.
This may sound rather unlikely and something that has been preached by many over the years. But, in my view, it can never be said enough in our normal conversations and appropriate gathering. This is why I write these letters to the editor, and continue talking about it individually and in gatherings.
