Hope Manifest
December 15, 2023 | Yoska Guta TD ‘25
For some people, this seemingly harmless source of self-soothing can easily become a vicious cycle of self-dependence. Sure, one could, in theory, celebrate every positive thing that comes their way as a victory of their positive thoughts. But, they must equally bear the brunt of every unwanted outcome, as their confidence lies solely within their thoughts. Yet, they mustn’t ruminate on these negative outcomes for too long, out of fear of perpetuating such outcomes through their negative thoughts. In the long run, this circular ideology has the potential to drive people further into cycles of ignorance and blame.
