Bon, excusez-moi les amis franco-français. J'ai pas le temps de traduire tout ça pour vos beaux yeux, mais je trouve que c'est quand même bien sympa, alors voici un petit texte en anglais. C'est pas bien long et ça vous fera au moins bosser un peu pendant les vacances...! ^_^

Here's an excerpt from the book
*PRONOIA IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR PARANOIA:
How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings*
by Rob Brezsny

DEFINITION: Pronoia is the antidote for paranoia. It's the understanding
that the universe is fundamentally friendly. It's a mode of training your
senses and intellect so you're able to perceive the fact that life always
gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the secrets of becoming a wildly disciplined,
fiercely tender, ironically sincere, scrupulously curious, aggressively
sensitive, blasphemously reverent, lyrically logical, lustfully compassionate
Master of Rowdy Bliss.
HYPOTHESES: Evil is boring. Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair
is lazy. Joy is fascinating. Love is an act of heroic genius. Pleasure is our
birthright. Receptivity is a superpower.
PROCEDURE: Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your
amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working
behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous masterpiece
you were born to be. Join the conspiracy to shower all of creation with
blessings.
GUIDING QUESTION: "The secret of life," said sculptor Henry Moore to
poet Donald Hall, "is to have a task, something you devote your entire life
to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your
whole life. And the most important thing is it must be something you
cannot possibly do." What is that task for you?
DAILY PRACTICE: Push hard to get better, become smarter, grow your
devotion to the truth, fuel your commitment to beauty, refine your
emotional intelligence, hone your dreams, negotiate with your shadow,
cure your ignorance, shed your pettiness, heighten your drive to look for
the best in people, and soften your heart even as you always accept
yourself for exactly who you are with all of your so-called imperfections.
POSSIBLE REWARDS: You will be able to claim the rewards promised you
at the beginning of time, not just any old beauty, wisdom, goodness,
love, freedom, and justice, but rather exhilarating beauty that incites you
to be true to yourself; crazy wisdom that immunizes you against the
temptation to believe your ideals are ultimate truths; outrageous
goodness that inspires you to experiment with irrepressible empathy;
generous freedom that keeps you alert for opportunities to share your
wealth; insurrectionary love that endlessly transforms you; and a lust for
justice that's leavened with a knack for comedy, keeping you honest as
you work humbly to liberate everyone in the world from ignorance and
suffering.

Bon. Y a un bouquin qui est sorti sur cette idée, mais j'ai aucune idée de ce qu'il peut bien valoir. Perso, j'aime bien l'idée telle qu'elle est exposée ici et ça me suffit comme ça : je ne suis pas obligé de décider si elle est sérieuse ou non et je peux l'apprécier pour sa propre beauté, mais ça se trouve le bouquin est très bien aussi. :o]
Allez, en tout cas, bonnes fêtes !
