My experience with "The Secret" involves attending a New Year's Party with my brother several years ago where we stayed up all night playing drums with a group of people. When the morning came, and we all got up to go home one guy said to us "I have this movie that you have to watch" and proceeded to lift up his shirt and remove from his pants a DVD.
We realized that he had to have been keeping this in his pants all night, and as my brother and I made our way to the car I told him "you realize that we have to see what that is the moment we get home".
Upon arrival back at my brother's apartment, we proceeded to watch the movie, and were mystified that someone had tried to compile an hour and half video around the idea of "positive thinking"; much less that someone had thought enough of it to carry it around in their pants to impart to strangers at a party.
- Qz 16y agoDon't underestimate the ability the promise of simple answers to life's problems has over people desperate for said answers. I know people who buy the Law of Attraction nonsense hook line and sinker. Of course, these people also believe in that personal sovereignty nonsense, and that every country in the world except Switzerland is run by the Rothschild family, who are also apparently multi-trillionaires...
- m0nastic 16y agoI once got into an argument with someone about whether The Law of Attraction abided by the Law of Conservation of Mass; because if it did, than it didn't seem any different than stealing.
- Qz 16y agoIt's just hokey nonsense. All you have to do is nod your head and pretend you don't think they're totally bonkers.
