Quote of the Month

One must understand and believe that negative character traits are truly harmful to the individual. The more sensitive one becomes to the unfavorable consequences of a trait, the closer he is to correcting it. One must come to the realization that the negative character trait is ultimately destructive to him. For example, a person who is easily angered lives a life of strain and emotional stress. A person who feels undue pride is ridiculed by his peers. A jealous person never experiences prolonged periods of satisfaction.
