When
asked what he thinks of the “positive thinking” movement, Osho
believes that it’s doing more harm than good. Why? Because it means
we’re denying reality and being dishonest to ourselves:
“The
philosophy of positive thinking means being untruthful; it means
being dishonest. It means seeing a certain thing and yet denying what
you have seen; it means deceiving yourself and others.”
“Positive
thinking is the only bullshit philosophy that America has contributed
to human thought – nothing else. Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, and
the Christian priest, Vincent Peale – all these people have filled
the whole American mind with this absolutely absurd idea of a
positive philosophy.
And
it appeals particularly to mediocre minds…
