Chris.
Our thought life is usually expressed through our
actions. That is why if our hearts are pure our thoughts can and should be pure
and clear too. A disciplined thought life is so good for our living a proper
life in front of other people and having good relationships with them. Our
actions will be right if our hearts and thoughts are also right.
