Nurturing foolishness

As he considers his nature so as to better understand himself and make good decisions in life, there are some thoughts a man should not let his mind linger upon, lest they influence his choices in wrong directions.


If he does unwisely nurture such thoughts, he ought not write them down in order to return his mind to them, nor should he refine them in great detail so as to maximize their attractiveness.  


If he be so utterly foolhardy as to record and burnish them thus, he must not share them.


But should he do all of these unwise things, he must remember always that they are just thoughts, and that he would never choose the actions they might indicate.
