“The best technique for reinforcing our own knowledge is by teaching what we have learned. This is true of the interactions we have with people. When we extend love and gratitude we are both teaching and reinforcing the ideas within ourselves. However, when we demonstrate hatred, fear, jealousy, despair or anger we are only reinforcing those traits within ourselves; we in essence poison our own well. What the ego projects and demonstrates, it keeps to itself.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
