The Gospel of Vaguenesses

THE GOSPEL of VAGUENESSES:

VITAL VAGUENESSES  MAY BE VALID for EVERYBODY: This can be textbook material for pseudo-psychologists, new age health gurus, clairvoyants, quack doctors, soothsayers, horoscope writers, mediums, religious brainwashers, bible thumpers, touch healers and  psychics of all sorts so common in our society.

In fact, all the statements below can be applied to nearly everyone I know because of their fuzziness, lack of preciseness and indefiniteness so common in self-help books. Remember that people are both gullible and naïve and beware of sweeping generalizations like this one as we can believe nearly everything from religion to science-fiction;  both of them are very similar when you come to think of it.
Mine is a CRUSADE against simple inherited thoughts, worn-out cliches and "idees reÇues"...

Beware also of that great thought paralysis  which proverbs automatically create, they numb and anesthetize your  creative mind.
"To be properly and perfectly vague, you have to be vague about something" Henry James
