Doubt can spread like a wildfire ...but, what may be called a healthy imagination, may do no less harm.

When children believe in Santa Claus ...they often let that childish wonder run their imagination, so there is no real room for debunking what is believed.  The joy of what they experience is way more important.  They don't stop to consider how Santa Claus could visit billions of homes ...all in a 4 to 6 hour period.  Though, I have to mention that the benefit of different time zones would give Santa a bit more time.  Yet, Santa would still not have enough time.

Pastor Myron said that Satan (not Santa ...there is no typo here) can only be one place at a time.  So, how would we think he could accomplish so much??

First of all, there is not a clear definition of positivity, or negativity.  Though many of us do seem to have an inclination towards labeling others. We may say some people tend to be mostly negative ...and we may say other people tend to be mostly positive.  Yes, the labels do not give so much consideration for having a difficult day, the person not always being that way.  

It is way too convenient to label others as pessimists, or as optimists. Those observing a positive person may claim that the optimist is positive to a fault. A pessimist rarely admits they are such ...being much easier to say it's another person's fault that they are negative.

It has been said that people believe what they want to believe. Certainly, there is some truth in this ...but, I think that statement is more a catchy phrase than one aimed at seeking out an understanding of belief.  I do think that most people don't want to adopt unpopular beliefs ...as they feel those beliefs may be unhealthy towards their self-esteem. But, what comfort is there in feeling good about a wrong belief if only for the fact that most people believe it??

Perhaps it would be more comforting if more people would believe what is true.  Most assuredly, that would ring true in the long run.
