However, when people project their own needs and feelings on to the weather, then the weather can become ‘good’ to one person and ‘bad’ to another: a farmer who is crying out for rain will see the persistent sunshine as ‘bad’, while the holidaymaker will see the same sunshine as ‘glorious’ and the dark clouds as ‘bad’. Similarly, thoughts in themselves have little power to influence how people feel about themselves, or others, or life; it is the emotions which infuse them that are powerful.
