New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

The best woman is continually at, work upon her character to make it better.

The really good woman is a good daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She may be simple, humble, uneducated and poor, yet if she fulfils her duty in all these relations she is the best of women, for they invariably call forth the highest qualities of human nature and often demand self-denial, self-sacrifice and self-control.

Many women consider themselves "good" because they possess chastity.

Chastity is only one virtue. I have known chaste viragos who would have made suitable consorts for Beelzebub.

I have known chaste scandal-mongers who were neighborhood assassins --- slaying characters with their adder tongues.

There are models of chastity and virtue who are reckless spendthrifts, wasting hard-earned money in needless ways.

The good woman knows how to curb her temper, how to be charitable in speech, how to economize her expenditures.

It requires courage, self-control and unselfishness for a woman to practise common sense economy when surrounded by extravagance and folly. In the heart of fashionable society some such good women may be found.

It requires the same virtues and faith and trust in God's wisdom added for a woman to be cheerful, kind and patient while her heart is starved all her life for the refinements and pleasures of existence; yet many such women are to be found in homes of poverty --- good women who rejoice in the success and happiness
