Some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If our minds were originally formed by nature in a sound and useful manner, then they pass on all the forces of fate, which imposes on us from outside in a relatively unobjectionable and more acceptable way.
The lack of available, good work inspires a lot of people to be self-creating.
Where one person shapes their life by precept and example, there are a thousand who have shaped it by impulse and circumstances.
Creating is a lonely thing in a lot of ways.
No matter how many obstacles that are thrown in our path, there are ways to except them and to live through them.
A certain number of people seek power over other people in a desperate attempt to find themselves. They fail, for self-discovery is spiritual in nature, not social or political. Authoritatively telling other people what to do is their distraction from an inner emptiness they can never fill.
