Clarity of conscience leads onto purpose

No.

You got it backwards.

Clarity of purpose comes first.

how can you clarify your purpose if you don't have clarity of thought

Conscience is not thought.

what's the difference

Clarity of conscience refers to feelings of guilt or pride in relation to the action to be taken.

what does thought mean

"an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior."

So, clarity of conscience follows from clarity of purpose.

what does thought mean

how do you get a clarity of purpose then?

thought "an idea or opinion produced by thinking, or occurring suddenly in the mind."

and by ur logic, youre first principle is clarity of purpose

your

They are taken together, dude.

That's like asking what's the first atom in water.

isn't an inner voice produced by thinking?

H20. So, hydrogen is the first element?

No.

It's just written that way.

Would it be easier if I said my first principle is "Don't be stupid."

no - in ur logic you explained that clarity of conscience comes from clarity of purpose - H2 doesn't come from O

They are both separate things but in practice, they are absolutely linked together.

yeah they're linked yeah

So close that, to separate them, would be to break the principle down too far.

but one isn't created by another

Why the fuck did DDJ backstab?

conscience comes from purpose

You break water into hydrogen and oxygen, you get two gases.

Not the same thing as making steam.

yeah ur right - i'm not talking about breaking down things - i'm talking about what creates another

You were originally talking about first principle.

water doesn't create Hydrogen of Oxygen

or

And the first principle is, "Clarity of Purpose. Clarity of Conscience."

Followed extremely closely by "Don't. Be. Stupid."

let my brain work through ur idea - give me 5 minutes

Chew on it.

to clarify what you're saying - are you saying that clarity of conscience is caused by a clarity of purpose
