---------------------------------------
PEOPLE BOTH ACTIVE AND COMTEMPLATIVE MAY BE SUBJECT TO A DEGREE OF IMPATIENCE WHICH, WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE A FAILURE, AT ONCE BIDS THEM GO OVER TO AN ANTITHETICAL DOMAIN OF ENDEVOUR, TAKE AN INTEREST IN IT AND PERSUE NEW UNDERTAKINGS - UNTIL A DELAY IN ACHIEVING SUCCESS DRIVES THEM OUT OF THIS NEW DOMAIN TOO: THUS THEY WANDER, RECKLESS AND ADVENTUROUS, THROUGH THE PRACTICES OF MANY DOMAINS AND NATURES AND, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF MAN AND THINGS THEY HAVE ACCUMULATED ON THEIR TREMENDOUS TRAVELS AND WITH A LITTLE AMELIORATION OF THEIR IMPATIENT DRIVE, AT LAST BECOME MIGHTY PRACTITIONERS. THUS A DEFECT OF CHARACHTER BECOMES A SCHOOL OF GENIUS.
