The Human Machine - Arnold Bennett - Loc 418
A day can be the banalest thing that can happen
It comes seven days a week
52 weeks per year - over the lifetime of an individual
On the other hand, the day can be the most elixir thing of life
A day can be the microcosm of life - summer, winter, autumn and spring
The key challenge I face is - after a night's sleep of rest- how to face the day?
with all its encumbrances
So the primary purpose for me should be to deal with the daily friction
and face the day confidently, quietly - through what i call "lubrication"
The chief cause of the friction is due to my attitude
My attitude of blame -due to judgment/opinion
and my mind starts chattering - mental tone -
and when the situation pops - it emerges as a vocal tone. friction.
And the point is - " why should you not school your mental tone daily?
that is the only lubrication ;
So that you don't regret that
"The tone was out of my mouth before my brain woke up" A.B
