I am the guilty party. I was reading Fromm and came across this post - having had similar thoughts on the issue I decided to give my opinion. I think it is a perfectly valid question to ask, and one without an easy answer. What do you mean by 'something positive'? Like a solution?I was wondering who resurrected this thread. I may sound odd just like I often I am, but I have been wondering if there is any way to turn into something positive. Could this be a case of crocodile tear?
