FOR-GETTING or FOR-GIVING


For-getting is not for-giving. If you forget what happened, you don't forgive. Forgotten, the event remains stuck subconsciously in memory, unforgiven.

Evolution

Don't believe in evolution?

Don't evolve.

Willpower

The Will has so much power, which has a name: willpower. An individual may will a harmful habit, then decide to reduce the harm. To change a habit (reduce the harm) requires a strong willpower. Since it is the same individual, the willpower was always there, but used to maintain a bad habit, not to create a correction, thereby creating a new habit, and therefore, change.

This suggests that the Will and its power may originate elsewhere, since everyone has it. Strong purpose leads to a strong will. Weak purpose means a weak will. It is used by each individual  according to their feeling of purpose.

It takes willpower to stick to a goal. Unfortunately, Will may be so strong that negative results are neither perceived or accepted. (Narrow perceptions mean narrow purpose.)

Will often just acts—if it "feels" right, results may be accepted as right when fundamentally wrong. In the weakness of addiction, for example, the will gives power to the addiction. Please note that the source of power—either maintaining the addiction or deciding on less harmful behavior—is the Will. It is very hard to decide to modify or change any habit, much less addiction—it takes a willpower stronger than the force of habit.

"Willpower" and "force of habit" are really the same thing. Which is supported? What does the Will want? Will chooses, willpower acts.

The Miniature Calligrapher - Poem


There was an artist named Homer
who could write on the head of a pin,
but—as small as it was—
wasn’t good enough for him.
How many times can you write, he asked
the Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin,
and the Twenty-Third Psalm on the shaft,
without seeking new worlds to conquer,
without finding new standards to pass.
So smaller and smaller he printed,
and finer and finer his tools:
the hair of a bee his pen,
his tablet a mustard seed,
his work the sayings of men.
For who, you might wonder,
and where, and when?
But artists do what they must,
the purpose comes from within.
One day while eating a sandwich,
the ants were scavenging crumbs.
Ah, said Homer, a challenge.
To the open mind, it comes!
He gathered the crumbs and waited
until they were hard as a rock
and with the finest of pens,
wrote messages for the flock.
The ants collected his work
and took it away to their nest
parading this proud message
to whom it suited best—
God save the queen...
God save the queen...
God save the queen...
God save the queen...

Believe in something

Act in agreement or in opposition, but always in agreement with what you believe—IF IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TRUE. Always act for your own best interests, which most do, but with a view that, in the long run, is against their best interests. Any way, believe in something, IF IT  HAS BEEN  PROVEN TRUE!
