Wishful Thinking a powerful (but negative) force?

Wishful thinking is a myth and doesn't affect beliefs at all, it isn't even a form of self-delusion or self-deception.

Wishful thinking doesn't effect actual belief but makes you think it does, you go into self-denial when you succumb to it and it's a form of self-delusion and deceiving yourself.

See my sig Big Grin

P.S. Great movie. One of the better family films for all ages I've seen lately. So many of the newer ones suck compared to the classics lately in my experience, but this is one of the better ones - and maybe I'm just turning into an old grandpa already Big Grin

Yeah, lego movie is my #1 fav, replacing goonies which was my #1 fav from the time of it's debut in 1985  :•)

Your video made me lol... We (the family) had dinner out on the deck a couple weeks ago, all but the youngest stayed out there.  The youngest comes out on the deck like 2 hours later and asks, "What are you guys doing?"  It was dark by then and each one of our faces was lit up by either a tablet or a phone.  So I responded, "We're spending quality family time together, what are you doing?"  (My youngest and I just watched your video and we lol'd together) lol
