DO NOT GIVE YOUR WORD OF HONOR LIGHTLY

FOR YOU ARE BOUND BY YOUR WORDS

AND BY YOUR OATHS

DO NOT BELITTLE ANOTHER'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

BUT SIMPLY STATE YOUR OWN TRUTHS

STRIVE TO BE AT PEACE WITH THOSE WHO DIFFER

DO NOT PURPOSELY CAUSE HARM TO ANOTHER

UNLESS IT IS TO PREVENT TRUE HARM TO YOURSELF OR ANOTHER

Confusious say, "Man who Fart in shower, soon unconcious."

The elements be our protector
Into the gate dare thee enter
Be thee friend, then shall thou pass
Be thee foe, then winds of death come fast

To inflict pain to someones self esteem
reflects lack of respect for yourself.
To walk past such disrespect is Honor.

In the beginning,
Creator put four peoples on the earth.
He gave them each a continent and way to live.
He placed the whites in Europe and gave them a way to pray.
He placed the blacks in Africa and gave them a way to pray.
He placed the reds in the Americas and gave them a way to pray.
He placed the yellows in Asia and gave them a way to pray.
He gave them animals and plants to help them live.
And He gave them all Free Will.

There is not a right religion or a right spiritual way.
Being spiritual does not require religion.
Religion does not make spirituality.

Spirituality is natural and a part of all people, whether they are aware of it or not. Whether they practice it through a philosophy or a religion or don't practice it.. it IS there. It is the simple human drive to be happy, have close relations, and live in a good way that avoids pain and suffering.

Some people pray, some meditate. Some follow a ritual, some are spontaneous.
Whether you are spiritual, religious or have no experience, you can pray and ask for strength and guidance. You can offer respect and honor. And you can be considerate of fellow living things.
Prayer and/or meditation is the human way to seek a connection with a Greater One or Spirit, to ask for help, guidance, strength, and wisdom.

OMGs Willow!!!! that is an awesome prayer, I love it.

ty for sharing.

THE SPIRIT OF THE WOLF IS:

power
guardianship
loyalty
honor
integrity
spirit

If you strongly relate to the "Spirit of the Wolf", you are very loyal......to family, friends, principles, ideals. You will protect your loved ones, especially your children, with strength and conviction.

Like the wolf itself, you do not like to fight unnessisarily-----you will, in fact, go out of your way to avoid that type of situation.

Wolves use body language in communication, and many people in tune with this spirit have expressive eyes, hands and posture , and use them when communicating with others...

You believe in a strong family structure and realize that your elders and your children all have something to teach you.
You take the responsibility of teaching your children to respect the rights of others very seriously. You want them to be loving and kind, but strong in life.

You seek knowledge, new ideas and new adventures in your life. You like sharing what you learn and teaching others.

As with the wolf, you have a keener sense of smell and hearing than the average person.
Strong, unpleasant odors can actually make you sick to your stomach, and a loud, or piercing noise can be distracting, and put you on edge. You love the smell of flowers, rain, etc., and enjoy the soft sounds of nature---a babbling brook, the chirping of birds.

You can become too involved in your work, your play, or your daily obligations, and you should always take time for yourself. You need time alone for inner communication.

The WOLF gives you the power to recognize that you control your reality , and will help you achieve the harmony and discipline you need to direct your own life.

The Socrates Triple Filter Test

"WORDS OF WISDOM" 8g852pz

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

Triple filter?"

That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test.

The first filter is TRUTH. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of GOODNESS. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

No, on the contrary..."

So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of USEFULNESS. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

No, not really."

Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. Friends, use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your near and dear friends.

Life Is Too Short,
Break The Rules, Forgive Quickly,
Kiss Slowly, Love Truly,
Laugh Uncontrollably,
And Never Regret Anything
That Made You Smile.
Life May Not Be The Party
We Hoped For,
But While We're Here, We Should Dance

Experience the inner beauty of a person before you judge them
