statements of whose truthfulness we are uncer-
tain, considerable portion of the causes of
worry and heartaches would be removed from the
world, and we would help make this world a
much more pleasant place in which to live.
Most of the unkind things we say and the
ungracous deeds we perform can be traced to
hasty decisions and unwillingness to seek for the
truth. We damage mems characters, malign
their actions put the wrong construction on their
utterances, with no further evidence in hand than
the gossip which has come to our ears.
Not only do we do this in the less important
matters of life, but also in the fundamentals
Few of us attempt to make serious study of
essentials, so as to be able to speak with a show
of certainty and authority Most of us parrot
like repeat what has struck our fancy, regardless
of whether it squares with principles. If it
sounds good, or strikes popular response, we
believe that it is worth while repeating.
And, on the other hand, some of us become
so obsessed of things in which we are interested
that we deride and denounce those who do not
share our opinions. If our search for values
makes us intellectual egoists and closes our
minds to the rights Of others, we are on the
wrong track. Intolerance is a sure sign Of mind
that has gone to seed on pet theory.
