“Attitude Is Everything We live in a culture that is blind to betrayal and intolerant of emotional pain. In New Age crowds here on the West Coast, where your attitude is considered the sole determinant of the impact an event has on you, it gets even worse.In these New Thought circles, no matter what happens to you, it is assumed that you have created your own reality. Not only have you chosen the event, no matter how horrible, for your personal growth. You also chose how you interpret what happened—as if there are no interpersonal facts, only interpretations. The upshot of this perspective is that your suffering would vanish if only you adopted a more evolved perspective and stopped feeling aggrieved. I was often kindly reminded (and believed it myself), “there are no victims.” How can you be a victim when you are responsible for your circumstances? When you most need validation and support to get through the worst pain of your life, to be confronted with the well-meaning, but quasi-religious fervor of these insidious half-truths can be deeply demoralizing. This kind of advice feeds guilt and shame, inhibits grieving, encourages grandiosity and can drive you to be alone to shield your vulnerability.”

“مواجهة الحقيقة هي من اصعب المصاعب في هذه الدنيا أولا : لاننا ف الغالب لا نعرف ما هي الحقيقة ثانيا : لاننا ف الغالب لا نحب أن نعرفها الا مضطرين .. حين نيأس من قدرتنا علي تجاهلها ونشك ثم نشك ثم نري آخر الامر أن الشك أصعب و أقسي من مواجهة الحقيقة والصبر عليها ثالثا لاننا اذا عرفناها ففي الغالب - أيضا انها تجعلنا نغير عاده من العادات وليس أصعب علي النفس من تغيير ما اعتادت . فالموت نفسه لا صعوبة فيه لولا أنه يغير ما تعودناه وفراق الموتي لا يحزننا لولا انه تغير عاده او عادات كثيرة”
