Re: Some good information on religious fundamentalism

Hunter, my Mum, (a very wise woman), used to say, "its easy to figure out what you don't want in your life, but very much harder to figure out what you do want".

I think what she meant was that figuring out what we want in our lives, on a very personal level,(not material), is a hard job. Instead of saying that I 'don't want' anger and resentment in my life, what I should have been saying is that I 'want' peace and harmony in my life. I know this probably sounds like nonsense, but for me thinking in terms of the positive instead of the negative, made a big difference.

My Mum also used to say, "change your thinking and your world will change", and you know what, she was right, yet again :)
