Quote by Source Unknown

Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fixed in our ways, personalities, and, as a mature person, psychologically resistant to change. With EFFORT, however, we can make changes. We are not today exactly what we were yesterday. We are almost imperceptibly different. We do change with time and we can control to an extent the direction of the changes.

Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fix

Summary

This quote suggests that as we mature, we tend to become more set in our ways and resistant to change, like a gyroscope that becomes fixed in position. However, the quote emphasizes that with effort, we can overcome this resistance and make changes. It acknowledges that we are not the same today as we were yesterday, as we constantly undergo gradual and almost imperceptible changes over time. The quote also highlights our ability to exert some control over the direction of these changes, implying that we have the power to shape our own personal growth and development.

The fundamental impulse of the movement is neither masturbatory nor concretely lesbian -- although it of course offers warm house to both these possibilities; it is an impulse to maidenhood -- to that condition in which a woman might pretend to a false fear or loathing of the penis in order to escape from any responsibility for the pleasure and well-being of the man who possesses it.

Miracles are (in late documents, I believe) recorded of the Buddha. But what could be more absurd than that he who came to teach us that Nature is an illusion from which we must escape should occupy himself in producing effects on the Natural level-that he who comes to wake us from the nightmare should add to the nightmare? The more we respect his teaching the less we could accept his miracles.
