Think right, act right, live right

THE EDITOR: Fellow citizens, reason is the mentor of the will, and thoughts are its workmen. Reasons plan the spiritual or material edifice. Will is the foreman who controls and directs. Many believe because their thoughts are their own and unknown to others, they imagine they can harbour all sorts of unworthy sentiments and feelings so long as they do not allow the actual feelings to betray themselves in corresponding actions. They do not realise that every bad mental habit not only inclines them to the act but lowers the ideal and weakens their moral nature and power of resistance.

Positive thoughts are important and even moreso, than words. People must be careful with what they say, being fully aware of the disastrous consequences. Words can be so empty, so feeble, while thoughts are always vital. We can say things we neither think nor mean, such words carry no weight. We must think things to feel them. Therefore, the results of wrong thinking are much more harmful to others. Think rightly, act rightly, live rightly. May the Christmas season bring peace, joy, love and happiness to all.
