When a person goes from having thoughts, to controlling their thoughts; do they have self mastery? Seems some thoughts are random, some aren't. You can train the mind to be a monkey; but why would you? You could no more teach a person to think like me, then you could teach them to be a genius.

Most people, never really think. They avoid doing that. Pity, because some of us, enjoy doing that.

Great article. Thanks for giving it some thought.
