Therefore, it developed into a post on my blog, where I don't need approvals :D Actually, Ralf, you’re the inspiration behind this post :)

I agree with your thoughts. I think positive affirmations are useless and and more: they are mind threatening. They undermine your independent thinking capacities because it makes you just repeat things without knowing why and thus it is not based upon reason. Undermining reasoning capacities...is not likely to make you very happy on the long run, I suspect. Questions: how do you define unique? How do you define special? Why should you be unique? Why are you unique? Are there non-unique people too? Why? and so on. Thanks. Oh, Thanks for raising this issue. I agree with your thoughts.
