Know yourself.

After some tragic public news of a suspected suicide of a well known actor it occurred to me.
Given the circumstances how well do we all know our selves and how would we cope under unbearable pressure. I recall a famous expert on bringing up children whose own son committed suicide. Of course may be from remorse he stated all his books on child care to be rubbish.

I think there is nothing wrong in pursing wealth and fame if you do not loose sight of the really important things in life. Such as human relations and your own integrity.

Just one final point in a famous psychological experiment. A group of students were split in half and asked to take on the role of prisoners and guards. After a short time the girl friend of the chief doctor conducting the experiment was so horrified at the beastly conduct of the guards she pleaded with the doctor to stop the experiment. Several of the students suffered physical
and mental damage.

It is so easy to be swept away with what is going on nd not take the time to look at what we are doing and the consequences.
