Fruits

 The line from the Gospels, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Ordinarily one would think of this in reference to people, of good or bad inclination, and especially those who “come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

On a more direct individual level though, it reflects on the inner state which arises from where we put our attention. This can be external things or perhaps the thoughts in our heads, which may lead us in certain psychological directions, such as despair. So here again, whatever it is, what are its fruits?
