6) Human Characteristics

Man, being a thinking animal, will not commit himself if he thinks it is a losing game. He will never put something into action if it does not ultimately profit him. He will act if it ultimately profits him. Don't you act in that way?

Raise your hands if you want for everything to go well with you! Now raise your hands if you want for everything to go wrong with you! Woe to you who wish wrong! It won't be necessary to ask. One will not only raise one's hands but also his feet too if one knows the way. There is none who wants destruction.

Every one of you wants to be a great man or woman, don't you? Then, where to start? One would be happy if all of one's friends became great.

Though people live in this world, they have visions of the future. It is known that people, unlike other animals, have such visions. What are the visions? The visions are high and high and high while they are good and good and good! These are the visions. Visions of tomorrow, visions of the future... As far as such visions are concerned there are not any bad, bad, bad visions at all. Therefore, when we talk about such a vision, we talk about good and good again; happy and happy things again.

Studying one's life you can find that man is a peculiar being. You notice that the old proverb, "It never rains but it pours," works. When it goes wrong it goes all the way. But when one starts to like the other, one cannot stop liking him. Also, it is man who can join one extreme to the other extreme. And it is also man who turns one end to the other end.
