It is my belief that each child should be led into finding him or her self, this should be started first by the father and mother, next it should be the prime mover of the teachers, but if the teachers have not found him or her self, but are only able to "Throw the book at them" then they are in a deep rut. I believe that the users of dope are motivated by trying to fill the vacuum left by dormant innate ability, thus they have a desire to be motivated from intuition, not by exterior forces, then they try to supply their bodies with dope or other motive power for an elusion, not knowing that God gave them the real thing before they were born.

Finding Your Self

Finding your self in this life is your greatest task to perform, until
You begin to make the search, you are left alone. When you decide to
Start, be it now or then, close your eyes to the out side world and
Start your search from with in.
Some folk have been searching for then selves among their relatives
And friends but each time they miss them selves and have to start
All over again.
Try reflecting on this again, again , and again; you will never know
Your self until you search with in.
