For example, someone wins, or seems "nice". But how did they do it: did they follow the teachings of Christ, or were more violent, controlling, etc?

• Did they show honesty and the Golden Rule, or self-discipline?
• What do we want society to be? Controlling, manipulative & violent?
• Or, a place of liberty, with problem solving and growth, by considering trust, honesty, wisdom, respectful boundaries, & cooperation?
• We often act out those things with which we fill our minds! Examples of others become patterns of thought, which lead to actions, which lead to what we are.
• These things can be changed when an individual chooses, but often that is with great pain and/or effort.
• We all should discipline ourselves to be good in spite of the things around us (and avoid evil).
