When havoc reeks around me I remain with a calm spirit. I am not attached to the havoc nor do I partake in it.

Now you're fixated on fixing your problem. You're fixated on fixing You.

• Us vs. ourselves.ARTArticleFURTHER STUDIES IN SELF-REVEALIZATION ACCEPTANCE - The Significance of Correct LanguageMany attempts at personal explanation and definition do not result in attainment of an ideal because of improper or incorrect use of language.
