Things to ponder....

[JACQUE]

One evening an old Apache woman told her daughter about a battle that goes on inside people. She said, The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. She said, "One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.' The daughter thought about it for a minute and then asked: 'Which wolf wins?'

The old Apache Mom simply replied, 'The one you feed'.

Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

“One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why”

“One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why”
And they don't have the need to try and "fix" it....They let you be, they love and comfort by just being there and loving you no matter what decision you have to make, what you may or may not do...They allow you to move through without chaos or worries...I believe the comfort is two souls simply and deeply understanding one another without a word having to be said.
To them a reason doesn't matter.
