Me - Can you be of two minds?
Of course you can. You can analyze and see differing conclusions as equally viable and equally advantageous.
So, how does one decide?
Where do we go to for guidance when we must make decisions, especially hard ones? Ones with calculable ramifications for people who mean a lot to us? Remembered outcomes from past similar circumstances are where most of us begin, so as to seek repeating the positives and/or avoid repeating the negatives.
But this analysis requires us to have some method of evaluation with a criteria to rate the memories as either positive or negative. Ethics and morality being the application of our spiritual selves to guide our passions to energetically commit to a decision of actions to perform.
Soul searching is necessary, and good.
Marcus - He who has a vehement desire for posthumous fame does not consider that every one of those who remember himself also die very soon... but suppose... the remembrance will be immortal... What is that to the dead? What is it to the living? What is praise... except it has a certain utility? For thou now rejecteth unseasonably the gift of nature clinging to something else.
