In any formation of personality and character, we need to identify cause and effect about who we are and who we want to be. Our biological background does play a big part and science is always researching this part. We do see traits in ourselves and others that suggest that we do inherits certain traits but science is still studying this part too . We do know environment plays a big role too but we know that this part can be altered even though the circumstances seem to say it is impossible.
In the global economic arena today, we find we need to quickly decide what ethical road we want to take. Raw Capitalism calls for a gladiator type existence. We need to ask if we want to surrender to this condition or take the higher ground no matter what. Do we do it to others before they do it to us or do we do to others as we would want them to do to us? This is the question of our times. To be or not to be rests on our response.
Our response flows from our environment in which we live and the examples that surround us. The examples will often be decidely bad examples. We find that pursuing our Life Ideal will often set us apart and draw the hostility of the secretly envious upon us. This we find will tend to discourage us. It may incline us to give up the struggle or waste many years finding out who we really want to be. Much of our movies we see today depict this struggle with many subcumbing to the worst case situations.
It takes courage to gage the trouble before it comes and prepare for it. When the trouble comes and is thus expected, half the force of the trouble is lost. We need set this in concrete ---
All that anyone really wants is a feeling of being completely together in one place.
We need to pray for holy indifference especially when circumstances take us by surprise. This prayer of holy indifference does not mean we go into denial but it means we are ready to take on any event following the examples of Perfect Love of God. Everyone who is interested in building up personality and character into a worthwhile life ideal must have a basic philosophy of life. Life is a garden. It needs to be cultivated or weeds will take over. We need to use means of goodness to achieve goodness and know that the accepting the least evil is still accepting evil into our lives.
Prayer is a powerful tool. Even NASA scientists are studying seemingly supernatural occurences as perhaps not being that supernatural. Perhaps there are fields of praying power that contain more natural powers than we would expect. Calling out to the Divine might be a power in itself. Ask God for both the supernatural or natural conclusion with a holy indifference. Try this - pray for place where a love one will soon be for a holy conditions in the surroundings. Husbands stand by the sink where your wife will soon be when she comes home for the place to be a holy place just because she will be there under the power of love that you both had for each other when you chose her to be your wife. Wifes can do the same. See what happens.
