Quote by Popper PĂ©ter
English (Source)
The concept of positive thinking was originally created following an ancient Buddhist tradition. A legend survives that Buddha and his disciples were looking at a dead dog. Master, look how terribly repulsive death, decaying flesh, and rotting corpses are! How disgusting it is when all that remains of a creature is its body! said the disciples. Buddha looked at him and said yes, but what beautiful white teeth he has! This is the basic story of positive thinking. It grew out of there. In other words, it's not about pretending that our negative experiences, our bitterness, our sorrows are positive. It's about accepting them as negative as they really are, but if there is something positive in them, then we should also notice it.
