"All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation
prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

*The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The
deed develops into habit, And habit hardens into character. So watch the
thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of
concern for all beings.*
