Its got to be "great minds !"
In any case, is it not true?
Amusement has its place, doesn't it? But the object of
amusement, if it can be switched from selfish to a sharing and to
lift others up, then I would say it is a valuable quality. But
when selfishly taken, it may prevent us from doing some great
service, and thus miss an opportunity to assist the world or some
other.
I have often wondered how is it we can train our mental faculty
of ATTENTION to consider the Karmic ramifications of the moment
to moment situations we pass through.

To be able to reflect on ones' self is a faculty that
demonstrates human SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS.

It needs the gentle breezes of Soul-Wisdom to brush away the dust
