Where would be the challenge and reward if you got everything you wanted without any effort?

I'm about to watch The Secret movie.

It's made me lazy, not to get to the gym. Hope it's worth it.

All the bigwigs, and all my family get exactly what they want, with no challenge or effort - in a smile, a wink and a blink

To follow the thread, I'll stick with my principle of social competition, and how the world be such a better place, although it might be upside-down. It requires a scientific experiment to have less people. I started with a very basic experience of the difference between a daily commute to the capital city after 10 years. No seats on a train. Then: space, energy, resources, politics, etc...

Solutions: war. bombs. Condom. Release the locks on city zoos. We'll find a way to flee from the bugs, nibbles from birdies, tigers, lions, snakes, alligators, crocs, 12 monkeys, giraffes...?
Crown Court people thought they were clever?

Distill the population

The planet's a mess
Hail Sir David Attenborough
Nature will find a way

After finishing in my gym, feeling on the top of the world, as usual, I rode my bike home and noticed a lot of police cars & an ambulance in the road, causing a lot of traffic hold-ups, which is usual in this town when nothing happens. I love some drama. So does everyone, but with such an empty life, I love any unexpected event. Only damage I could see was some spilt milk and squished bananas behind to ambulance rear door. I liked all the flashy lights 'n' sirens and respected the staff getting geared up and clothed as the climbed out of the impressing estate BMW cars and I do wish I could do that job!! That IS a people-dealing-with I would love to do. I made my way really quick through the crowds on my bike to get everyone's way, stopping momentarily as the cars had to reverse next to me. Not for my personal need to get home, I wanted to save everyone's time, swapping across the road and each sidewalk, all way down the road, quicker than the traffic. After watching The Secret, and for all other reasons in my life... my fear of homelessness, feeling empowered with my gym mood, I wanted to stop to speak to and comfort a homeless girl in a sleeping bag in the street, which I have never done in my life. A few seconds of thought made me evade doing that. I worried she might attack me, and if we talked about me she demand to live in my house.


The Secret did surprise me by being quite boring and meaningless.

There are a lot of books, articles and wiki information I've explored, found and read which I already knew and didn't need to read, and it makes these worthwhile, to verify I was always right.

Because everyone else does

Just love everyone

Be nice to everyone

Get the best things, so you look great

Always smile. Give comfort. Get it

Book your best holiday, every year, paying a huge amount for badly-touted special, fantastic things which you can pay for

Because someone gives you such a lot of money to tell people what to do, which is so easy because you don't have to do it or understand what it is, so you love doing it. Everybody obeys you and does what you say. You don't have to do anything at all.

I think this overlooks the fact that people are highly status conscious and eager to promote themselves by destroying others. If you project the slightest amount of weakness, others will attack.

I agree. I definitely think the secret is corny as hell and completely understand most of the criticisms of it but in this case the person criticizing it just read the wikipedia article about it!

No I read the book. Some man was giving them for free on a bus in Peru.
