Positive Thinking Is Not Rosy. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Positive Thinking Is Not Rosy.



Positive thinking has its negative side.
It breeds in-activeness and acceptance.
Accepting the negative for what it's
Can find action for the alternative.

India is batting; one after the other
Comes to the crease and gets out and leave.
I spin hope on each batsman for runs yet.
This is positive thinking belying hopes.

He met an accident and fractured his leg.
Thank God! He has not lost his life, I thought.
He had asthma and not cancer. Thank God.
This is positive thinking to self-console.

Stop giving positive attributes
For every failure you encounter.
It will make you a seasoned receiver
And leave you to be taken for granted.

A Thought provoking poem with great meaning. Very true said, Stop giving positive attributes For every failure you encounter. It will make you a seasoned receiver And leave you to be taken for granted..... To move a head in life, one accept even the defeat or failures and take everything lightly. No other choice life gives us either. Beautiful presentation, just made me think a while. Thank you for sharing with us.
