The right train of thought can take you to a better station in life. As a Man Thinketh — You are no greater than your thoughts. Your intent writes your life, and life is filled with snares. The mind is plighted with flaws. It behooves us to understand the common fatal human flaws:

1. Pride, egoism and the `Fake-Feel-Good` delusion.
Instead of sincerely actually learning and improving themselves, people turn offensive as a defense and retreat into their administered delusions. Thus, perpetuating mediocrity and stupidity. Egoism is the root of all evil.
"""
The ego wishes to gain volition or lest the illusion that it has control over situations or issues. The vacuousness of the ego is a gnawing, writhing torment to much to bear. - Re: Human Pride, 2006-09.25
Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens.
Against stupidity even the gods struggle in vain. - Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) in Jungfrau von Orleans (1779)
Love to faults is always blind,
Always is to joy inclined,
Lawless, winged and unconfined,
and breaks the chains from every mind. - William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827)
Many of us believe that wrongs aren’t wrong if it’s done by nice people like ourselves. — Unknown
