[Imampaictjg]

Where do you fit in, in these regards?

Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he
forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions
the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy
and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of
thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and
wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the
beast.

From James Allen "As A Man Thinketh"

I attempt to base my actions upon right choice and true application (aka reason).
