~ Ourselves ~

The most important subject to study in this whole life is ourselves.
What we generally do is to criticize others, speak ill of them, or dislike them;
but we always excuse ourselves.

The right idea is to watch our own attitude, our own thought and speech and action, and to examine ourselves to see how we react upon all things in our favor and in our disfavor, to see whether we show wisdom and control in our reactions or whether we are without control and thought. Then we should also study our body, for by this we should learn that the body is not only a means of experiencing life by eating and drinking and making ourselves comfortable, but that it is the sacred temple of God.
