Wenn alles immer nur gut werden soll, warum wird es dann trotzdem immer schlechter?

If everything shall only improve, why then do things only turn worse and worse?

May be it is called delusional? Like some people I know think if you think positive and be in denial, positive things will happen. And the irony of it, by mathematical probability there is a 50/50 chance either one thing or the opposite will happen and people start believing in this positive thinking crap, and everyone looses control over reality.

Perhaps it takes the shape of it. You know, with some things that this capitalistic society fosters and rewards, if you were a doctor for the brain or a therapist, you'd see a lot of patients running round out there as normally you'd call that stuff "pathologically relevant".
At least I could never consider that as something that is "good" or "does you well" mentally or something that I find people believe in all that voluntarily. I always also found that in part of people like forced upon - they only do it because they've gotten told a thousand times and assume it'll be right, it's them who's at fault or has a problem.

Irony of it, this behavior makes them unhappy, think of the rate of suicides.

You can say in that part they know it's wrong. At least those which really only repeat it to themselves as a mantra.
The others which truly believe of just have a happy character - well, maybe their experience is, if it's one of them, that they apostatize. And you know how hard that is?
