Answer 2

I think you could have posed your question in a different manner? But I shall work with what you have set out?

Nelson Mandela stated " We think therefore we are - meaning what we think we become. He also stated that we think of ourselves much less than what we are? We have a very low opinion of ourselves. But words & actions can create our World around us - we are not doing a very good job - for we are living in a 3rd class civilization. Yes their are even some VooDo cults that may try to kill someone else by sticking pins in a doll.Yes what we do & say has major consequences?
