One day, and red faced angry young man came stomping up the hillside, and spoke with the sheperd. "i am moving to the next village in the next valley over there, can you tell me what the people are like?" the sheperd asked "what were they like in the previous place?" the man answered; "Horrible i hate them all the people are all so out of order!" "well, said the sheperd, the next village is just the same". Later, a smiling happy-looking young man arrived walking up the hill, and asked the sheperd the same question; "what were the people in the previous place like?" asked the sheperd, once more. "quite nice actually", said the young man. "Well, my friend", replied the sheperd... "The people in the next village are quite fine, just the same". moral - When we see a bright color, we are witnessing our own inherent goodness. When we hear a beautiful sound, we are hearing our own basic goodness. There was once a sheperd on a hillside.in each valley on each side of the hill was a village.

Regard yourself kindly first, then the others. If your do not regard yourself you cannot regard the others. It is possible to transcend the situation within the bounds of the situation, however, constant vigilance is required. It is simpler to allow yourself to be happy. Leave.

What should one do when one finds oneself trapped in a relationship with a person who views others as tools for his own advancement? I'm serious about this. I have been married for nearly 12 years to a man whose only concern for me is how much money I earn. I recently had a major health crisis that came to a head because when I told him I was feeling ill, he told me it was all in my head. I am dying under the control of this man. Please help?
