Goethe

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749-1832, philosopher, scientist, pretty sure a non-believer, none the less penned these words:

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.-

With God's help, we know what our choices will be.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
