Character can be cultivated successfully
through emotion and intent.

In the beginning,
we are of a character which expresses
joy, sorrow, tranquility, chaos,
etc.

Here, we are fluctuating between
both extremes, yet without concluding
to any one of them as acceptable,
not acceptable, better or worse.

After many years of childhood we pick
and choose according to our environment and
the people within it, animals, plants.

Once it becomes repetitious,
our natural distinction between freewill
and imposed reality become distorted.

Character should not be dependant upon
one's environment. Environment is dependant
upon one's character.

If your character is manifesting in a
dull expression, so will your environment.

Why are so many people quick to change
their place rather than themselves?

Holding on to comfort and that which
is fixated upon comfort will create
ignorance and laziness.

This stagnancy will manifest conclusive
realities, and hence addictions, ego and
skepticism.
