“Any judgment is past oriented, and existence is always herenow, life is always herenow. All judgments are coming from your past experiences, your education, your religion, your parents - which may be dead, but their judgments are being carried by your mind and they will be given as a heritage to your children.

Fear is a child's vice and while I loved to feel it approach, as one does with any vice, it was not for grown men and the only thing to be afraid of was the presence of true and imminent danger in a form that you should be aware of and not be a fool if you were responsible for others.” IfsMenFeelsShouldYearsChildrenDoeFormNextFearDangerFoolDiseaseApproachEatingResponsibleVicesStupidityMy TimeCandyGrown Man Author:Ernest Hemingway
