Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The universe kinda becomes like a god. All that energy and vibe stuff is like a way of praying. It's all about faith, not really backed by evidence.

It's like how I see thunder, so there must be a god of thunder. In this case, seeing vibration and energy (like in String Theory, which still hasn't been proven) makes me think there's gotta be some deeper meaning and that it can make my wishes come true.

And of course, there are people out there selling books, spreading fake news, and posing as manifesting professors just to cash in on others' ignorance.

But hey, for a lot of people, it's just a way to find hope and relax a bit through positive thinking, focusing on their goals and planning things out. So I'm not trying to bash "believers", just sharing a shower thought.

I didn't think this would get this much downvotes. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, leading to people misunderstand my post and think that I was trying to prove law of attraction is true.

Idk, I understood what OP meant and I didn't find anything particularly weird about it.

Can you explain it? I have no idea what this is about

I think OP was explaining, how the law of attraction is basically religion where you replace god with the universe. With the same level of faith required, aka all, same level of proof provided, aka none.
