Re: principled mind
brilliant, brother psyah,
there are so many ideas that your narrative and elaboration has inspired.
would like to say, that in confirming one's absolute zealous pursuit to get what one sets out to do, and singly maintains personal consistency as is aspired to achieve what the principled mind ought to achieve, there remains little to doubt if at all, about its adherence.
now, external, totally uncontrollable factors may create hurdles or obstacles to the course... but, they will only prove to be one more reason for why, the principle mind's principal-ity if you will, in its totality and entirety will become clear.
it is like that rope that one must not let go of, which is a life line.
it is that sense of affinity with dedication and loyalty, which distraction or negative forces can't ever mess up, even if they tried their best.
again, the theme of Almighty's affect on our lives is not to be contested in any way from any side.
the nature of life cycle of us earthly mortals is such that we are to be good or bad or good then bad or bad then good.
in case of a principled mind, what i am trying to say is that, we cant good the bad!
good meaning, the adherence to the principles as in convictions of morality, fairness, justice, honesty and so forth... that the principled mind idealized and will do nothing else, but serve in the cause of following those principles through the body's deeds and words of the person who possesses a principled mind.
it has two unmistakable advantages:
a) it makes the principled mind
certain and no one has to worry about predicting its unpredictability.
b) it sets precedence for the other minds, to observe and learn
for instance, in a profession where hope and recovery is the end goal, there is no space for helplessness, self pity, made flaky alibis or dejection.
therefore, the principled mind, ideally must be strong enough, that even if it ever wavered, it will bounce back to what it should have held on to, i.e., its principles.
i hope i made the point a little bit clearer this time. :>
looking forward to your reply.
best,
Dushwari
