It is wrong to think, for example, that money is all important and the means by which it is gained are not that important. It is right, however, to think that money should be earned only by honest means. It is wrong to think that worldly pleasures give happiness and therefore, one may go for them with great passion. It is right to think however, that worldly pleasures, not only do not give happiness, but they also lead to misery ultimately – and therefore, one has to exercise extreme caution before plunging head long into them.
It is, therefore, very, very important for people to stop thinking wrong; and it is equally important for people to start thinking right. Wrong thinking leads to cynicism, grief, depression, gloom, conflict and unhappiness. The wrong thinking mind is a negative mind.
A doubting mind is as bad as a wrong thinking mind. A doubting mind can never accept anything – implicitly. Persons with doubting minds would have no faith in anything or in anyone – not even in themselves. Their outlook on life is completely steeped in suspicion and cynicism. They have no faith in friendships or relationships. Naturally, such persons will have no friends. They can never have any social life. They are lonely and frightened souls. Since it is their nature to suspect almost everything and every one, they can never take a firm decision, which is so essential to succeed in their profession. They have no peace; and naturally, they can never be happy.
The next thought is about “Negative thinking”.
