It seems like positive thinking is for the weak. As we go upward in the chart of social/wealth/power status, positive thinking becomes less and less meaningful. As positive thinking gets started weakening in the chart another factor takes its place - Control - control over lessers. Unfortunately, I have no other option except to agree with your words and this phenomenon is getting with each of your post and every word. Unfortunately in the sense that I have started seeing the world as a sinking ship. Who will help us? We will not. A few thinkers like you - May be, I really hope so.
