The over dramatic emphasis placed upon the Presidential elections this year has focused the "opportunity" to change this country from the direction that we are currently going along. Which reminded me that even though we must always have an open mind about everything and everyone, their is an undeniable truth when it comes to character...
"...When the emphasis of the life is upon its spiritual part we term him the individual idealistic, but when the emphasis is upon the material part we term him materialistic. Character is determined by the plane of his own nature upon which the emphasis of the individuals life is placed. Every human being has moments when he rises above his own level; also moments when he sinks below that level. This level may be termed in music the keynote of the individual, with the sharp as its higher and the flat as its lower phase."

Let's hope that America as a whole ends on a sharp note.
