Ink SpillMaintaining a healthy and fruitful mind.
If your opinions were apples and your mind was a basket, how many of those apples did you grow yourself, and how many were put by something other than yourself?
There is no vice in taking fruits from other baskets as long as those fruits are good and health-giving. But if those fruits are unripe then they’re not good for consuming, and if they’re rotten, then they’ll infect your whole basket.
Along life, we collect apples, some grown, some taken, some we throw out because they’re stale or turned out to be rotten, some are still ripe so we leave them in the basket.
So for your life to be fruitful, try and keep your basket ripe and healthy!
And if someone gives you an apple that smells a bit funky, learn to say no thank you!
