Good morning. The answer to yesterdays 'first 'question will be found
beginning on this page and continuing through page 62. The answer to the second
question begins on page 63 and ends at the bottom of page 164.
- What is the first requirement in answering the “first question?”
The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success.
This is contrary to the way we have been brought up. We
have been taught we must set our goals in life and go
after them, go for the gusto, make things happen, etc. We
are now being informed that we can not survive with that philosophy.
- Why is that?
On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good.
- Everybody is like what? Two sentences
Most people try to live by self-propulsion. Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the rest of the players in his own way.

- What do we want regarding our plans and people’s actions?
If his arrangements would only stay put, if only people would do as he wished,
- If everyone played his part, how would our life be?
the show would be great.
