cat thinking evil
There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people. In the best of us there are thoughts or deeds that are wicked, and in the worst of us, at least some virtue. An adversary is not one who does loathsome acts for their own sake. He always has a reason that to him is justification. My cat eats mice. Does that make him bad? I don't think so, and the cat doesn't think so, but I would bet the mice have a different opinion.

If you want to be a slave in life, then continue going around asking others to do for you. They will oblige, but you will find the price is your choices, your freedom, your life itself. They will do for you, and as a result you will be in bondage to them forever, having given your identity away for a paltry price. Then, and only then, you will be a nobody, a slave, because you yourself and nobody else made it so.

Wizard's Tenth Rule Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.
sheep mind doe
It does the sheep no good to preach the goodness of a diet of grass, if the wolves are of a different mind.
being-yourself individuality life-is
Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.
maine cosmos misplaced
I felt like I'd been misplaced in the cosmos and I belonged in Maine.
