Cultural Offering has a very wise message about the danger of wishful thinking. An excerpt:
My old communications professor, Raymond Tucker, explained the mailbox effect one day in class: “We, on some level or another, believe that one day we will go to the mailbox, open it, and pull out a letter which reads ‘Congratulations, your problems are solved. Because you are such a deserving person and have waited so patiently, we have enclosed a check for several million dollars and solved all of your problems. You’re welcome.’“
