"There are certain men who can love a machine more passionately than they can a woman. They are some of the world's happiest guys. Observe the innovators. They often don't make their living off of invention. They have to spend their free time creating. We refer to the art of ""life"" as the expression of the soul via the brain and body. There is little doubt that we do not study this art to any significant degree in school. Man will have a fun half-hour reflecting on how his place in the cosmos impacts other people. The diplomat who sets up relationships between our instinctive selves and the cosmos is the brain. It challenges instincts, sides with them, and criticizes certain performances for their lack of insight. Character is and can only be the whole outcome of one's character. A person is kind because they constantly think of benevolent ideas, and they are idle because they habitually think about the momentary pleasures of being idle. Only your own thoughts are within your control. Even your two-year-old baby could challenge you due to the strength of its natural personality. But you have control over your own mind. Your own mind is a sacred space that should not be breached by anything negative."
