EVERY right thinking person desires truth rather than error. The important thing, therefore, in our daily living is to learn to discriminate between the true and the false, the real and the unreal. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (pp. 82, 83) we find this statement, which arrests thought: "In a world of sin and sensuality hastening to a greater development of power, it is wise earnestly to consider whether it is the human mind or the divine Mind which is influencing one."
Much of our living is a question of choice. Whether we are consciously aware of the fact or not, every day is a day of decision. How important, then, that we intelligently strive to let the divine Mind influence our choosing! With earnest consideration and true and faithful meditation, there are opened for us new vistas and broader views of existence. Right thought leads to loftier heights, more exalted altitudes.
In a rapid, ever changing material age, with seemingly complex forces all about us, we sometimes cry out that we are driven by force of circumstances; yet the fact remains that we do chiefly the things we choose to do. In other words, we are not so much driven as we would allow ourselves to believe; and sometimes, even though we may object to a certain course, we still allow ourselves to pursue it because it is the course which offers the least resistance.
