DAY 2285: Do you check your horoscope? Your zodiac sign? Do you think these predictions are helpful or not? Have you ever considered tracking them as a tool for writing character development? The only time I have ever checked my personal horoscope was for entertainment, when it stopped being entertaining I stopped checking it. The only other time I look at a horoscope is for character information or story ideas. I think the only thing a horoscope is good for is to find personality traits for protagonist and antagonist, otherwise I don't look at it.
Day 1891: "Independence means happiness." Susan B. Anthony Do you agree with this quote? Happiness is a spiritual attribute, and, therefore, does not depend entirely on independence. A person, who turns to and depends on God, can be happy in any condition. 'Abdu'l-Baha states in Paris Talks, Part One: 35 "Pain and Sorrow": "I myself was in prison forty years—one year alone would have been impossible to bear—nobody survived that imprisonment more than a year! But, thank God, during all those forty years I was supremely happy! Every day, on waking, it was like hearing good tidings, and every night infinite joy was mine. Spirituality was my comfort, and turning to God was my greatest joy. If this had not been so, do you think it possible that I could have lived through those forty years in prison?" |
