Yet if there really were a complete unified theory, it would also presumably determine our actions so the theory itself would determine the outcome of our search for it! And why should it determine that we come to the right conclusions from the evidence? Might it not equally well determine that we draw the wrong conclusion? Or no conclusion at all?

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds, and until we know what has been or will be the peculiar combination of outward with inward facts, which constitutes a man’s critical actions, it will be better not to think ourselves wise about his character.

It is difficult to determine the cause of grass fires. There is usually nothing left behind when we get there, like a cigarette or a gas can, for us to determine what started it.

The prudent course is to make an investment in learning, testing and understanding, determine how the new concepts compare to how you now operate and thoughtfully determine how they apply to what you want to achieve in the future.

Do not determine
A person's worth.
But it does
Determine the worth
Of your career.
Be the best you can.
Do the best you can.
For where morality
And education meets
You'll find the wealth
Of each ones value.

Garrulously Speaking
Either it is or it isn't!
That's it.
Those attempting to create a utopia in between,
Will find their supporters to negotiate
A more loquacious terminology.
To determine how significant,
Which side of 'nonexistence' is preferred.
To the more acceptable 'glimmer of hope' theory!
Garrulously speaking,
Of course!

Jump to Conclusions
Jump to conclusions,
As often as you wish.
Have you done your self evaluations yet?
And what did you come up with?
No need to solicit,
Outside opinions at all.
From Sunrise to Sunset!
Where were you to determine those decisions made,
Had been done without you being conscious of this?
Or when your absence of responsibility,
Could not find your shoulders,
To land upon or fall!
Jump to conclusions,
As often as you wish.
Have you done your self evaluations yet?
And what did you come up with?

The outcome can truly determine whether our homes will be destroyed, whether our children will be torn from their mothers, trained as conspirators and turned against their parents, their home and their church.

The future I choose
My grades are something I take pride in. Like a religion I must follow.
They have to stay as high as possible. A's are what I want like a child
asking for ice cream. My GPA is the lightbof my life, the reason for my
hard working persistance. It means everything to me. It's what will
determine my future. The future I deserve, the future I desire. As I strive
and climb the trail of life it follows me through day and night. I can't get
rid of them no matter what. I want people to know me because of them,
like a infamous football player, someone to remember. Someone to look
up to, someone to respect. My grades determine my future of how people
partake me. This is the future I choose for it's my future to partake in.

Those Who Annoint Themselves Qualified
What institutions do you have left,
That are steadfast and valid?
Hmmm,
Well...
The only ones that seem,
To have stood the test of time...
Are your 'mental institutions'.
However...
I do question their validity.
Since those who annoint themselves qualified,
To determine 'who' has mental issues...
Are the very ones responsible for the cause.
Happening at such alarming rates.
And I am glad you have asked me that question.
It just occurred to me...
Those who annoint themselves qualified,
To determine 'who' has mental issues...
Do so to keep themselves employed.
And...
Advocated for reasons why additional funding is needed,
To keep rehabilitation programs updated.
With the hiring of more qualified personnel a recommendation.
How clever.

The 'Potential' For Greatness IS There
If a greatness is indeed appreciated,
Wouldn't it take more than one to satiate the taste?
It would lessen the propaganda.
And the hype of it would not be faked.
'Well...
Okay.
Let me say...
The 'potential' for greatness is there.'
mmm...
That makes the taste of it easier to take,
Somehow.
That way,
My expectations aren't set so high.
And I can determine what is given,
More delicious than it is!
You get my point?
'I think so.
YOU want to determine,
The 'greatness'.
And when and 'if' that should be labelled as such!
Giving 'you' a purpose to encourage and spread the word.'
Of course.
I don't want to have it enforced.
I would think you would want my expectations to rise!
To declare something 'great'...
Leaves it to be criticized and opened to be downsized.
'Maybe we should hire you to do our marketing? '
Well...
As you yourself stated,
The 'potential' for greatness is there.
'I now can see,
The point you are making.
The potential for greatness 'IS' there.'
Exactly!
There is no need to overwhelm the message.

Let Us Not Jump To Conclusions
Were their actions inspired and motivated,
By racial hate?
'Well...
Let us not jump to conclusions.
Since we are currently conducting,
A thorough and complete investigation.'
How many thorough and complete investigations...
Thus far,
Have been conducted and do you anticipate?
'That is difficult to determine.
You see...
The marketing of crime,
And the perpetuating of bigotry...
Has continued to be extremely beneficial and lucrative,
In communities worldwide.
However,
Let us all agree right now...
In 'this' particular community,
There will be no tolerance of hatred shown...
Of any kind.
'Will that mean the ending to building,
Of prisons and jails...
As well as rehabiliation centers,
Currently on the drawing boards...
Must cease to be a reality as is planned? '
Let's not get too hasty with decisions we must face.
There is a need for more jobs to feed and hire professionals.
Unless we all use our minds to become innovative,
Our abilities to create employment for those we deem qualified...
Most certainly will drive our efforts and ambitions into wasted pits.
'That will also mean an upheaval...
Of the death, war and taxation way of life,
All of us have grown accustomed!
And none of us are willing to sacrifice.
To implement the unknown.'
Correct!
And that is our biggest challenge.
However...
And it has been stated,
Let us not just yet...
Jeopardize our greatness,
By jumping to conclusions.
