No argument that when you move against something that is wrong or you have an opinion against this is often true, just was questioning the general idea that when things go WELL, then you must be doing something WRONG. I don't believe that to be true on any level, as often when you are tuned in where there is reception you will find a plethora of good intentions, people, progress, etc - IF you can see it. I think much good comes out of developing an awareness for this rather than the assumption that the last wanker you encountered is indicative of the next person you interface with, even in similar situations and personality types.
I have worked with some people over the years that NO ONE could get along with, and found interestingly that there were no problems. It is certainly not because I am an agreeable/non-opinionated sort, but I do find people interesting and usually assume the better of them and the outcome of the situation unless from direct experience (them to me) that this is not the case.
I also definitely think there is some kind of connection between what we BELIEVE to be true and what the outcome of many situations are. (the double minded man receives NOTHING - there's a bible quote for you, Trap). Even if it is on a subconscious level, battling ingrained belief patterns that are at odds with your conscious mind (getting the two to agree) is often at the root of many repeated, problematic scenarios that people encounter in their lives over and over again. If there is a negative connotation associated with a person, type of situation, or idea/belief system that perhaps is even rooted deep in childhood on a subconscious level (that you are probably completely unaware of because your conscious desires/beliefs seem at odds with it) you had better believe that your subconscious mind will rule in the situation.
There are a lot of people who struggle their entire lives 'being good' and receiving bad. I am not saying this does not happen because we are living in a degraded world, but I also think there are just as many situations that catapult into the negative because of an unawareness of programming and patterns entrenched in the subconscious mind. And also, the way that we 'read' it.
