"Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world"
In this lecture he talks about how your personal life constricts your movement in the outer world, and that you need to sort your life out first, and that will evidently be a huge task.
Of course, he is right. I am not prepared to have a major fight on the Internet right now. I have too many things in my personal life that I should take care of before embarking on any stupid Internet feuds.
I will not bother myself with downvotes from now on.
I will only concentrate on myself and my family.
I will, in spite of all depression, mania, sadness and hardship, be ever more vigil in my own life, and try to overcome the more immediate obstacles that may need clearing up.
I will, for whatever it is worth, at least try to guide both my kids and help them understand what is right and wrong, what is good and what unacceptable.
We can hope.
Thus, I will "clean up my own room" before anything else.
It all may take me a while though.
