Results of Expecting Nothing

The doctrines of spirituality apart, i think what negative thinking does to us as functioning individuals is this.

I had developed some of these attitudes, some of them inadvertently :

1. People are essentially selfish and incapable of giving / reciprocating love. Not really true , is it. People may not be perfect, but they are certainly capable of giving love. Some more, some less, but the ability is there. What else can keep the world going?

2. Personality is a 'bad' phenomenon. documented that in last post.

3. A scorn for pleasure. i don't think life would be possible without pleasure, would it.
