I consider thoughts to have some power or, in terms of "science": Thoughts
are energy and energy doesn't vanish. I could make up some more
"explanations".
However, if you don't know what the effects are, you won't care in most
cases (so do I). But some people claim to know and most of them want to have
more control over their thoughts and feelings. Some even think that a
thought carries more power than the spoken word or a deed. When you think of
the proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword." (pen=spoken word,
swordÞed) you can imagine how much power a THOUGHT can have.
Even if those people are wrong: Do you know what happens to your thoughts
and feelings after you thought and felt them? Do they simply vanish? Or are
they your share for the future of mankind?
Just some, ... well, ... thoughts :-)
