All this typing, I think the only decent part is "The BEST becomes what he hopes that others are, because doing so means that at least one -is-. He makes his hope TRUE." ___________________________________________________________________ To consider the right action What would you picture the BEST person doing? The BEST person would not claim to be the BEST. Because pride keeps them from further improvement. The BEST was not born BEST. They were the BEST at -improving-. The BEST at seeing that they were -not- BEST. The BEST person would harm the least, because hurting hurts them -too-. The BEST axe is worn and dulled by wood, always. The most wood from the fewest swings is BEST. What do you provide in trade, for what you demand of others? The BEST lumberjack does not chop for joy of chopping. He helps others survive by providing them wood, They help him survive by providing all -but- wood. Even an infant provides continuation of family, in trade for its milk. The BEST is able to give more than he takes. The BEST becomes what he hopes that others are, because doing so means that at least one -is-. He makes his hope TRUE. Embody the BEST as BEST you can. Even a -little- of the BEST is better than what we normally do. ____________________________________________ To consider the right judgement Picture someone else doing / believing / behaving as you've done, or are about to do. Imagine that you see through the other's eyes. Imagine that you grew up as they. If you do not know, you MUST ask. You can not Judge if you do not know. This is simply fact. But even knowing does not guarantee good judgement. The fish does not know what it is like to learn how to fly, it cannot Judge the bird's flight. The bird does not help the fish by telling it how not to drown. Can you picture yourself agreeing, with you? Are you good at explaining why your choice is the BEST choice that we are capable of if we want to keep on the path to ultimate good? ____________________ I think we could use something other than apostrophe to indicate possesive. It just begs to be confused with contractions.
