A Quote for the Day

Even among those who said, "It is not my fault; the devil made me do," there is no excuse. Each person has freedom of will, to say "Yes" or "No!" to the Tempter. No action can be made without that ultimate choice to go for a sin or crime or not. Whatever he does, a person is culpable for everything he does, whether or not a struggle to exercise his will precedes the action or not.

Each time before you decide to take action on an idea, make sure that what you think the good thing to do is "really" good. Experience tells us that not all we thought as good were truly good. Acting on things by impulse ensures that what only apparently was good got assumed to be good, and the outcome becomes a point of regret for long stretches into the future.
