Wicked Wanderings: I've decided...

An old Indian Grandfather said to his grandson who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice.

"Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued...

"It is as if there are two wolves inside me; One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way. He saves all his energy for the right fight.

But the other wolf, ahhh!

He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked...

"Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather smiled and quietly said...

"The one I feed."

I've decided...

I don't like looking through CSS files. I can tweak here and there, but I have yet gained enough skill to start from scratch. Which is what I would like to do. But, I need to let my brain relax, before I start grinding it in another month. Lots of free blog templates, so I may continue perusing those and see if I can find anything that does and looks the way I want it to.

Another note, IF you are affected by the TWU strike and feel that you are being tormented and put in a hard place, let me remind you that Unions are what set the bar for health insurance and 40 hour work weeks in the first place. If it weren't for the people who stood up for the common decent treatment of labor in the first place, YOU my friend would still be in the coal mines, praying the canary didn't die. Knight of Pan may say it more eloquently than me.

**edited** to remove unlady like ranting.

Please, for the love of all human welfare, get out and strike at the beast that took it all away in the first place.
