YOU & YOUR SELF

Once in his dream a man was haunted by a mysterious veiled figure. As soon as he had gained a fortune, the veiled form snatched it away from him.

When he was about to enter into peace & joy, the veiled figure attacked his mind with fear & anxiety.

When he was hungry & sat down to eat, the veiled figure snatched his food away from him.

When he was overcome with slumber & lay down to sleep, this enemy of his life filled his mind with thoughts which banished sleep.

When he had won fame, the veiled figure took away his reputation.

When he stood at the open door of a great opportunity & was about to enter, the hand of the veiled one suddenly closed the door against him.

Enraged, the unhappy man cried out to his adversary, "Who art thou?" and, stretching forth his hand, seized the veil & ripped it from the face of his tormentor; and lo, the face that he saw was his own!

This dream sets forth the great truth that man is his own chief adversary & foe. If he is his own best friend, he is also his own worst enemy. Men make or ruin themselves.

Our fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves & we are the ones, & the only ones, who make or mar our destiny.
