Many people believe that Everything Happens for a Reason.
#Hell on #Earth being a #Plan must be such a consolation to the people in #Gaza that are being "cleansed" because...?

Oh and don't forget the non-human tortured #BigAg animals (biologically humans are apes)
If only they knew that being raised to become sickening #food is all part of the plan of a Loving and Almighty God
It's a wonderful world indeed.

Apparently "The Secret" is just the "law of attraction," a thing wealthy people have told less-wealthy people for the past 125 years: personal wealth is 100% due to personal choices, and if you're not wealthy--even if you're a refugee in Darfur--your life circumstances are your fault for not thinking positively enough? And tens of millions of non-wealthy people pay the wealthy people to tell them this, blaming themselves for not being wealthy, failing to see that the wealth of their life gurus came from convincing people like them to pay them for this?

I get why Oprah and other ultra-rich people like this "philosophy": it is Chicken Soup[1] for the Billionaire Soul, reassuring the rich that their wealth is evidence they are better people than everyone else, not a badge of unthinkable overconsumption. I don't totally understand why all the middle class people fall for it.

Sometimes my faith in the basic thinking processes of my fellow humans (maybe just Americans) takes a vicious body blow.

[1] The Secret is by the same dudes who wrote the literally hundreds of Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
