Here is an interesting post called
Table of contents for Magical Thinking which I cane across late at night when surfing in net. Here is a per of this article:
What I Learned from People with Magical Thinking
1.Authors and Magical Thinking
2.Someone Who Isn’t a Magical Thinker
3.More on Magical Thinking
I didn’t intend to write a series on magical thinking. I planned just one post on the subject, my entry in What I Learned From People. However, this has been a learning experience all on its own. Because I used words that many people consider positive in a negative context, my message apparently didn’t get through to a lot of people. Perhaps the following little joke will put magical thinking in context.
A man of faith, Sam, answered a knock on his door to find a sheriff’s deputy standing on the porch. “Sir,” the deputy said, “the dam has broken and the river is flooding. Come get in my patrol car, and I’ll drive you to safety.”
The whole text of the article is accessible at the author's blog. You are welcome to share opinions/suggestions/beliefs.
