Zarathushtra says that actions may be divided into three kinds: deed, speech, and thought. One may not do wrong, but one may speak wrongly. One may not speak wrongly, but one may think wrongly; and the wrong is done just the same. And how many people excuse themselves by saying, "I only said it, but I did not do it!" A person can even excuse himself by saying, "I did not say it, I only thought it.' |
