In an emotional sense, what we experience in life will buoy us or pull us down. A person's life experience can be seen as a collection of thoughts and actions. In those thoughts and actions a plethora of emotions, experiences, and extenuating circumstances blossom, bringing forth more of these events.

Happy people want others to be happy. Those who feel pulled down will do anything to stop the feelings of their downward trend, if even only in appearance. Engaging, and if need be, overcoming one's life situation is largely possible, if desired. This is done as a factored of one's personality, characteristics, and motivation.

Every person possesses the traits of the optimist and the pessimist. As we repeatedly engage one, the other recedes. Yet we are more one than the other. In this we can be thought of as Thinkers or Sinkers, the capable or less-capable swimmer in the proverbial River of Life. The questions are, how well of a Thinker and how much of a Sinker.

Who we allow ourselves to be is our choice.



                 

        





 

How someone looks at the world around them is just the beginning. Nearly every person on earth is either mostly optimistic or mostly pessimistic. How that person chooses to respond to events around them is the most telling.

The influences that draw individuals into action communicate motives to them. Where these motives of behavior come from has not been well understood until now. Becoming aware of behavioral choices and the reasons for our choices is a crucial stage.

Understanding the structure of our environment reveals the ends to which our choices lead. The spectrum of human experience ranges from utter destruction to total and awe-inspiring bliss. Discerning where we are between these extremes is difficult due to our limited perspective on the overall whole.

Not knowing where one is on this spectrum has no bearing if one chooses to attain the goal of either extreme. By choosing between love and actions, thoughts, and emotions that lack love one can point themselves in a chosen direction. Consciously or not this is what humankind has done since the moment we became self-aware as a species and now we understand... we choose.

"Thinkers and Sinkers, Why Are They Trying To Kill You?" is the dissection and delineation of the concept of positive and less-positive actions we each engage on a daily basis. These actions are toward people and ideas we encounter, as well as, the environment we create for ourselves and the surroundings we enter as we go through our day.

The structure of society and humanity has an overarching role in our experience as does our understanding of ourselves. The efforts we dedicate to exploring the many facets of our lives is returned to us in the form of personal wisdom and enriching experiences. Yet without self-examination we can be led into deleterious behaviors at the influence of our instincts and emotions. When this is allowed we are further motivated by our behavior into similar conduct. When we seek to understand we come to realize we have dominion and sovereignty over ourselves and nothing more.

When we live to love we discover we are given all that we need to fulfill our purpose and greatest delight in being who and what we were created to be in this life. There is nothing greater.

Read "Thinkers and Sinkers, Why Are They Trying To Kill You?" and discern for yourself where on the spectrum, from suppressive to uplifting, you are center.

Modern civilization has blossomed from
a concept which expresses an awareness
of personal sovereignty.

Since this ideal of personal sovereignty has not taken complete and unassailable hold over the hearts and minds of humankind a structure containing both newer and older belief systems remains.
This present paradigm pits the opposing methods in a struggle for dominance.
The designation for this paradigm carries many descriptions; liberty and tyranny, optimism and pessimism, and Thinkers and Sinkers.

The Thinker donates to the needy, abides by the parameters of nature, and allows others to have their prerogative.

The Thinker believes that when pursued with honesty and an open-hearted life plan, prosperity, to an appreciable degree, will follow.

The Thinker is willing to adjust to what is outside of their control while influencing what they can for the betterment of themselves and those near to them.

The Sinker demands support from others, decries limitations as unfair, and dictates how others must live.

The Sinker believes a considerable portion of the population has designs to abuse others, financially, emotionally, and physically.

The Sinker is unwilling to allow nature to takes its course and instead imposes artificial ligatures between the prosperous and the potentially prosperous.

This paradigm of Thinkers and Sinkers can also be understood in terms of love.
With love one rises in this life, lacking love one sinks.

The Thinker experiences are of confidence, peace, and possibilities.
The Sinker experiences are of doubt, anger, and lack.

Everyone has some of both traits.
Here are the questions a person might ponder.
"How well of a Thinker am I?
"How much of a Sinker am I?"

Thoughtfulness will lead to a better understanding of this illustration.
To disregard this notion without consideration reveals the Sinker, that ego-centric class of agitator who is empty-hearted, wishing to pull everyone down to their depressed level of existence.

This is part of human nature yet one we understand so we may rise above it.
The Sinker is unwilling or incapable of love and are not the people to have directing public policies.
Would you have otherwise?


  

Who is the more irrational; someone
who is truly irrational or someone who tells
the irrational person of their being irrational?

In some cases, unless one matches the mind-set, there is no speaking with a person who is predominately of the Sinker Mentality. The spectrum of uplifting and enriching possibilities, in their mind, is limited to impossible and improbable. They can tell you how smart they are. They may even have real accomplishments. Everything else is doomed. They have little or no ability for critical thought. Even though they think they do. Their focus is on what is wrong. "The sky is falling." Conspiracies prey on their idle mind. Desperately they want to be with the in crowd. The irrationality of their thought is blinding them to the positive in life. They think they see it yet suspicion creeps into their mind. In their mind someone or something wants to manipulate them. And they may be right but they never correctly identify the sinister party.

The Thinker is excited by the possibilities of what is to come - wow they might create and express themselves. They are contemplative. They know that human nature has not changed in a long time and there are those who wish to take advantage of others. They are thoughtful and upbeat. These people are grateful for the bounty of their lives. Humble is their sense in recognizing lots of people do great things. They are hopeful to have an opportunity to contribute to those around them and beyond. Curiosity is a hallmark of the Thinker. They might be perplexed by the Sinker Mentality but that does not dissuade their happiness. They know a Sinker can do well for themselves if they look inside their heart. Thinkers know they do not have all the answers and they continue to seek understanding of their surroundings.

If this line of thought gets under your skin and is disturbing to you there are two options for you.

1. Be angry, disagree and blame the world for everything wrong, in your mind. And do not forget to embrace your Sinker Mentality because that is not going to change with this option.

2. Calmly sit down and go over your emotions and how you feel about your situation and what it really means to you and how you can adjust to this perspective. If you can see the futility of being disturbed by this connotation there is hope that you can overcome the pessimism you feel.

  

If a five year old wanted a cookie
and was given a gun, do you think the child
would not use the gun to get the cookie?

"Aw, Hell yeah." Maybe not every kid but enough that the world would be pretty screwed up. Think about it. There are many "adults" in positions of authority who are acting like "children". What is the cookie they want? What is the gun they are using? The question here is what is the desire, the cookie, and what is the gun, the forceful and thoughtless manner of gaining that desire.

This may appear to be a simplistic concept, but at the core is the reality that children do not possess the most developed rational and logical mind. This also applies to adults who behave like children. Maturity can be attained on two basis, physically and mentally. For one to mature physically, all they have to do is stick around long enough. On the other hand, there are too many people who never truly mature mentally. Mental maturity is important. As important as not giving a five year old a gun if you are unwilling to accept of the consequences.

Some will say, "yeah! I totally get that." Then there will be those who wish to quibble over the above concepts, that there are two kinds of minds. This is what Thinkers and Sinkers is all about. Our lives are built upon how people see themselves, others and the world around us, and the actions that follow those perceptions. The mental maturity we utilize for important issues shapes our environment. Answer for yourself what represents a Thinker and what reveals a Sinker. Let's start the conversation.

  

The individual is the core. Backing out, level by level,
we can identify groups to which we are attached.
After all the levels; family, community, nationality
we will ultimately match optimist or pessimist.

Amongst all the variables in this world perspective is the greatest in the ability to produce unique logic and emotions. In the final analysis each of us is more likely a person of logic or emotion. The greatest benefit would be found if each truly understanding their own perspective and that of their counterpart.

The optimist understands that balance in this life will never be permanently attained yet in their optimism they are content to accept that balance must always be sought. An optimist is not guaranteed success in all endeavors. Even a pessimist has possibilities for success. Discerning which is which and the most beneficial option represents a major conflict in the public domain. Being that both optimist and pessimist are conscious, and if both hold fast to their beliefs, they will seek to further their view points, rhetorically and actually.

What do you want and what will you do to get it?
