Negative thinking is an aberration

I have always wondered why people think in a negative manner. Sometime people, seen as role models, also do negative thinking. PM's veiled caveat to the Confedration of Indian Industry (CII) that if the private sector does not accept caste-based job reservations it might have them thrust down its throat by executive fiat. Are we living in a democracy or a dictatorship Mr. PM? Such negative thinking on the part of PM puts him in the category of those politicians who see everything from their vested personal interests and dirty vote-bank politics. There should be some difference between Manmohan Singh and Lalu or Paswan or Arjun and their likes.

Thank God some people think positive

SC commented - "Ours is a secular country. Every community is supposed to behave in a civilized manner". The occasion was the hearing of joint petition of Nizama Bai and her husband Sheikh Ser Mohammad, who uttered 'talaq' in an inebriated condition. Both husband and wife want to live together. But religious leaders are forcing them to live separately as husband has given talaq to the wife, even if it was in an inebriated condition. As per their interpretation of religion these two people can not live together as husband and wife. So they went to court for relief.

SC told the couple that they can live together - "You have a right to live together". To religious leaders and other negative-thinking people of muslim community SC cautioned, "Community should not be allowed to behave in such a manner".
