BUILDERS OF CHARACTER
From The Dalton Citizen:
''lt is altogether a mistaken idea that
we* are born. Instead of being born
we are made, and we make ourselves.
Many of us make an awful mess of the
job because we use the wrong material,
or TSecause we wrongly use the right
material, or because we build upon a
haphazard foundation.
The majority of us start in on the
job handicapped by othed peoples’ blun
ders. When the tolls come into our
hands, we find the wrong ideas have
been embedded for pillows, false no
tions laid for sleepers, and that if we
are to build wisely and worthily we
must undo all that has been done; clear
away the rubbish of selfishness, the
treacherous sand of pride, and begin
atv the beginning and lay a proper
foundation. This is the biggest job
any mortal ever tackled, and but few
have the wisdom, strength and courage
to undertake it. No use asking “W hy ?’
The why is the unsolvable mystery
that lies at the root of existence. A
few of us come into the world with
a clear vision and an innate wisdom,
strength and courage that make of us
pyramid builders. But the majority
of us are cloudy-eyed and dull-witted,
with little knowledge of what we are
about. Some times some of us sit down
and think hard about it and try to ex
plain satisfactorily to outselves why
this*is the case. Socrates wrestled
with the same question and his an
swer is that all knowledge is the mem
ory of what we learned in preceding
lives. This is really a wonderful an
swer if you stop to examine it. It
clothes us with a greatness that is in
spiring and a responsibility that is all
but appalling. It sets every man sol
idly upon his own two legs, makes of
him both cause and effect, and says to
him: "There you are. Now get busy,
for no matter how long it takes you
must learn your own lesson, acquire
your own wisdom, do your own work
and learn your own worth. Your are
your own boss made capable of becom
ing great and wise and worthy. You
are endowed with powers of capable
of unlimited development. When you
'choose to use those powers wisely you
choose the reward that goes with their
r wise use. When you choose to use
them foolishly, you bring upon your
self the punishment that follows that
choice. There is no shifting that re
sponsibility to other shoulders. There
is no avoiding the results of foolish
ness ; neither is there danger of losing
the reward of wisdom.”
Many well-meaning people make a
mess of their lives because they are
long on conscience and short on imag
ination. They put too much piety in
their structure and not enough sympa
thy and humor. A conscience is a
good thing to have if it is a properly
developed conscience. But it if slopes
away where it should round out and
bfilges and bumps where it ought to be
beautifully smooth, there is nothing
worse you could have. Such a con
science makes the one afflicted with it
narrow and bigoted, self-righteous and
fault-fiudy, and of course it is impos
sible for such a person to be happy.
They can not be loved by other folks,
and no man or woman can be happy
who is not loved by somebody. Cause
those you love to pass in review and
eye them closely while they are pass
ing. You will find that you love none
of them because they are overly pious
or because they are the first cousins to
perfection. No, sir; No, madam, you
love them because it requires no effort
simply and solely because you can
not help it. The will was made to be
king, but the heart was born a rebel.
If you love your friend less because of
his faults, or would love him more had
he not those faults, you are not his
friend.
There is nothing kind of conscience.
It has all the hard bumps and unyield
ing bulges and the sharp edges on the
side next to its possessor, and is oft
ij-aid smooth and velvety on the side
next to other people. This conscience
s satisfied with dictating to its owner
and never desires to meddle with other
people. Such a conscience is a prec
ious thing to have. It grows out of
that blessed thing called imagination
that enables us to put ourselves in the
other fellow’s place, and feel the weight
of his burden and the tierce onslaught
of his temptation, the down-pull of his
environment. When we have felt all
this, we want to help him up instead
of kick him. and we want to help him
wash the mud off instead of throwing
more at him. You can never posess
anything more precious than the irnag
mition that enables you to feel and un
derstand. to sympathize and forgive.
Jesus says. “If you forgive men their
trespasses your Father in the heavens
will forgive you your trespasses.” Isn't
that sweet and sensible and satisfy
ing? I tell you that Jesus was the clear
est thinker the world has ever known.
When we rake away the rubbish men
have piled upon his teachings and get
down to what Jesus SAID we are on
solid bed rock, and our reasoning is
satisfied, our souls are satisfied, and
time and eternity stretch ahead of us
bright with promise and radiant with
