If all things contain their own opposite then there is no distinction between a thing and it’s opposite.
My only problem with the law of attraction is the common understanding which seems to think the conscious mind is what attracts, or if the teacher recognizes that it’s the subconscious that is attracting, they promise to have a method with which to entirely tame the subconscious. It’s worth trying to reprogram, but the subconscious mind is a beast and I’ve yet to see any “master” who really has a method that can fully get handle on it. Some sure help though.
It’s all just part of the game though, a nice journey to enjoy.
This ties back in to that comment I made to you about that certain person I used to know. "If you hate the world, the world will hate you". I think you do create your own positive energy and if you emanate negative energy you are going to draw more negativity.
One can also make the argument that why do complete wastes of space win things like the lottery etc? It is a very deep subject fraught with circular logic.
‘Circular’ logic... then again, maybe ‘wheel of fortune (tarot)...
Of course, a lot of those “deadbeats” that win the lottery end up in bankruptcy and worse condition when they started.
And who knows, maybe taking on a larger perspective of reincarnation and soul evolution over the course of many lives, those larger losses lead to the humility - from which they can jump off to a “better” life, which shall surely have its share of wins & losses.
(The ‘wheel of fortune’ card being summed up rather well with that classic Chinese parable):
A farmer and his son had a beloved stallion who helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild mares back to the farm as well. The neighbors shouted out, “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
Later that week, the farmer’s son was trying to break one of the mares and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. The villagers cried, “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, recruiting all the able-bodied boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son, still recovering from his injury. Friends shouted, “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!” To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
