Just Thinking…• Behind every great man is a great woman (every great man is supported,
guided, helped and even pushed by a great woman).
• ”The End Justifies the Means…”• Sometimes it is necessary to do something wrong to get what you want.• If someone feels that the ruler/s of his/her country is destroying the
country, that person should try to overthrow the ruler/s.• There are circumstances or events that justify murdering someone.• Success is worth any price you have to pay.• Traitors should be executed.
• What goes around comes around (karma).
• Human beings are easily tempted by things they want, even if it’s wrong.
• Your astrological forecast (your horoscope) is a good indicator of how your day will go.
