What am I doing with my soul right now? You need to ask yourself this question regularly. What is my rational mind focused on at this moment? Whose soul do I have? A child's soul? A young person's? A woman's? A tyrant's? The soul of some animal or wild beast?
What is the use that now at this present I make of my soul? Thus from time to time and upon all occasions thou must put this question to thyself; what is now that part of mine which they call the rational mistress part, employed about? Whose soul do I now properly possess? a child's? or a youth's? a woman's? or a tyrant's? some brute, or some wild beast's soul?
