Passivity is the worst submission because it is submission without individual intention to life itself. Of all the things I have learnt this was the most worthwhile, the most horrendous to learn and the hardest to clarify.

It’s importance to me means I don’t internalise it as a negative but as the positive:

Belief, Thought, Action

I live these three words. They may seem obvious but they are not: most people believe and think but don’t act, or believe and act but don’t think. That is dysfunction, it is partial passivity: humanity has the capacity for all three in unison.

They feed from each other and if left to frame your life improve it. Consider every successful action as proof of justified belief, and every failed action as a lesson. Action is information. There are two ways of learning: through the feedback of your actions and through others actions. The former gives greater opportunity so by cutting it out from you life you remove the best source of lessons and self-control.
