7. Philip Zimbardo on Poles I noticed that you Poles, are often pessimistic. Recalling the terrible ghosts of the past - the communist regime, the Nazi occupation, and earlier times. Your now is contaminated with all the evil that ever happened to you. You say, we are doomed, our country, our land is cursed as if you were collectively suffering from PTSD. I call this a negative past, and from that comes your current fatalism.
