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

You are providing your wife and children with all that money can buy. But are you making them feel how hard you work for this money, and are you giving them no companionship, no attention, no personal interest outside of paying the bills they contract?

Then you are not doing the best you can to bring about right home conditions.

You are not a real man, a real husband, a real father. You are merely a mine of ore, from which members of your family dig the material things they need.

But their hearts and minds are starved for what you can give and should give --- sympathy, personal interest, companionship.
