Today's thought.............. (5)
Wonderful idea! We grow so much when we begin to see things from various perspectives---one reason travel is so freeing! But it can be difficult to get out of that response pattern. How will you go about it?

HJFinAZ: Should anyone pay special attention??
It is impossible that anything should be produced if there were nothing existing before.
--Aristotle
Everything comes from something. All the organic compounds in our world come from four elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. From these simple ingredients have developed the marvelous chains of self-replicating proteins that fill the planet with jungles, gardens, farms, the swarming life of the sea, and four billion people.
Each of us contains all human possibilities within ourselves. Nothing that we do comes from nowhere; we all have the capacity for great goodness as well as great selfishness and blindness. The choice, at every moment, is ours. What will we use out of our formidable repertoire of responses?
Most of us have a pattern of response that we are comfortable with. Our habitual behavior saves us from the discomfort of always having to make a choice. But in exchange for comfort, we give up a little bit of our spontaneity. Every once in a while, it's good for us to become aware of what our habits are, and what determines our usual behavior.
Today I'll take myself off automatic pilot and navigate the whole course in person.

Yes...
Who you are, in truth, who everyone is, is whole and perfect
and beautiful. And if that can be recognized, then it is possible
that self-torture can stop!

I haven't even thought I could produce an original thought, but I know if I tried that life is still good.
