The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

There is a way I keep my face book...locked down and not allowing anyone access....I am not the social....... Besides it was only made for IT security research.....

It's the modern lazy way to keep up with old friends and distant family, so I enjoy seeing my niece's achievements in over 50 weight-lifting competition and my childhood best friend's children and grandchildren, etc. And sadly, to hear of deaths and funeral announcements.

I just have the feeling it is necessary to post this today... but I also know many will choose sides based on it and blame each other...while missing the point completely

The Tale Of Two Wolves​

ONE EVENING, AN ELDERLY
CHEROKEE BRAVE TOLD HIS
GRANDSON ABOUT A BATTLE THAT
GOES ON INSIDE PEOPLE.
HE SAID “MY SON, THE BATTLE IS
BETWEEN TWO ‘WOLVES’ INSIDE US ALL.
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 GRANDSON THOUGH ABOUT
IT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN ASKED
HIS GRANDFATHER:
“WHICH WOLF WINS?…”
THE OLD CHEROKEE SIMPLY REPLIED,
“THE ONE THAT YOU FEED”

Yes, but do you pronounce it Samhain, or Samhain?

I'm excited that it fell on the same day as Diwali.
