RIGHT THINKING.
BY Gilbert Hubbard.


Ther is a nervous disease called pa
ranoia.
The belief that some one is trying
TO undo o is its first symptom. The
holding of such a thought feeds the
malady.
We believe things first and look for
a proof later, and when the idea is
once fixed in a man mind that some
one is his enemy, reasons as light as
air are to him confirmation as strong
as holy writ. The individual who
thinks he is hated in reality is hated
very shortly.
Hate is catching.
The person who thinks another hates
him is, while in that mood, most un-
lovable.
Love only responds to love.
lncipient paranoia manifests itself in
suspicion. distrust and jealousy. Acute
paranoia reveals itself in pronounced
hallucinations and efforts in the line of
revenge, even to the taking Of lives of
persons entirely disinterested.
Every police captain is familiar with
that phase of paranoia, where a man
with staring eyes and cold sweat upon
his forehead rushes in and demands
protection from supposed enmies that
are upon his track.
The psychologist can look down the
paranoiac's past and see the time when
the disease was only the germ of a dis
trust or a glimmering suspicion.
Goethe said: II have in me the germ
of every conceivable crime" And so
are we all potential paranoiacs. To
harbor the thought of wrong is to
var and vivify the germ.
