When that is the case, that is what we DO with/to our thinking and only then we are responsible for it. What we DO=ACT comes from what we DO=CHOICE to our thinking proior to our ACTS. To ACT or not to ACT is our primary choice and thus we are ultimately responsible for it.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735134829827472228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9350891.post-82720549563168535842010-07-06T18:19:34.728-05:002010-07-06T18:19:34.728-05:00Alas, too true.Alas, too true.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959670952166969809noreply@blogger.com
