Burst Four (For Youth):

What First?

  1. “Pleasure first, duty later,” says the ordinary person.
  2. “Duty first, pleasure later,” says the evolved person.
  3. The hypocrite says, “Duty first,” but practices “Pleasure first”.
  4. The ordinary one acts by impulse.
  5. The evolved one gives thought (consideration) to a possible action. (See Quote)
  6. The very mature one sees limitations of thought also (and has deeper insights).
  7. The ordinary one puts one’s interest first.
  8. The evolved one makes room for others also.
  9. The very mature one puts others first, without fear.
  10. The ordinary one often fails to see things in the light of reason.
  11. The evolved one goes by reason.
  12. The very mature one is beyond reason (withuot being opposed to reason).
