In the end though, it's the result that counts, and we all have our
preferences and leanings relating to our experiences and conscience or
philosophy or inclinations and temper towards others and a belief
structure and an enquiring mind which we all hope is part and parcel of
our make up as human beings, so that is it as far as I'm concerned and
there's room for most things as long as it doesn't interfere with those
making what they believe is a contribution in some small way to what
knowledge is. I used to grind my own paint in order to get the colour I
wanted. I think grinding one's own mind is an equivalent. But it's not
freely available.
