The president we deserve

During the last few years a lot of complains have been made against president George W. Bush that he was dumb , uneducated and only interested in war, money and oil.

However, what people are interested in ? Consider the underground blockbuster The Secret , The Secret introduces the law of attraction that like attracts like. In The Secret we are told that we can use the law of attraction to attract money, relationship , health, a house , a car into our lives.

They are no mention of using the same law to attract compassion, more understanding between nations, peace , joy , more justice.

Who are featured in The Secret , well, there is Joe Vitale a regular guy just like the rest of us, who a few year ago wrote a book called Spiritual Marketing where he explained how he used the law of attraction to get a BMW car that’s great but see it wasn’t Joe Vitale trying to use the law of attraction to improve education of low income people or anything brave.

Bill Harris is also featured in the The Secret he is the man behind the overpriced Centerpoint Holosync (a brainwave technology, you can get better than Holosync for 15 times less).

So the regular folks featured in The Secret are mostly interested in material things such as car, money , so why complain about George W. Bush he is finally no different than the regular folks. He want money , prestige the difference with him is the scale.

Now, we don’t have The Secret explaining us how to use the law of attraction to create meaningful things such as peace, understanding and compassion.

If regulars folks are mostly interested in cars, money and things like this they are more likely to attract a president that reflect these values. I’m not condemning these values however in this case, I tend to think that it is pointless to blame Bush. Now, I believe there is also hope because I heard in several occasions that The Secret should be used to attract more peace into the world instead of fancy cars.
