Compromise
~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is always someone in this world that wishes to walk on the other side of the path,
most of us walk down the path on the right side. Now I am not talking about those that walk down the right or wrong side,
we are talking about the right and left side like on our body, our Earthly Temple. There is always one among us or maybe two
or three depending on how many of us we are talking about that start out to walk down the path on not the same foot as what
everyone else starts walking on, subsequently if we are all walking together and bob up and down like a canoe in rough water
or a stick of wood or sometimes like ducks on a lake of unsettled water. But these ones that walk down the other side of the
path than what most of us walk down, seems to think we are the ones on the wrong side, the wrong side, the correct side and
the incorrect or the correct or the wrong. There are a lot of different ways of putting which side of the path someone wishes
to walk down but why these people, these humans, these equals wish to think that they are the only ones correct, the only
ones in step so they think and they try to make everyone else start on the foot that they start on. Since they do it, that
is the correct way for it to be done, when they go around the mountain, they take off in one direction to get to the other
side and everyone else goes around the mountain the other way. We all get there the same time, we all accomplish their chore,
their mission, their job. So think about this, why does the one, the only one that went the other way seems to think that
they have the right to change everyone else. There is a saying among the humans; To believe only that which is right, but
they go on to say, each individual has the privilege, the pleasure and the responsibility to determine, to make up their mind
to decide which is right for him or herself as long as it does not infringe or interfere on the rights of others.
This is like everything that one does is totally right as long as just the one is doing
it but when there are two that get together they have to split it down the middle, compromise as the Wise Ones call it. Get
three or four or more together and everyone of them has a different idea of what is right, in many ways, many ways to split
this compromise. The path is very narrow in life and you have those coming toward you and maybe the ones coming toward you
have the most on the right side, the correct side as what maybe we decide which would be the best way to walk down the path
and not bump into one another, knock each other down, step on each others feet. Maybe one falls down and we step on his fingers,
then you get this one, he does not want to compromise, he does not want to go along with the plan, he wants to walk on the
other side than we walk down and we go head on. We are on the right side, the correct side, that which has been the plan that
has been decided upon, all, everyone divided up.
Compromise, then we have the one going the same direction that we are going, down the
path, narrow path, narrow maybe deer path or mountain lion path, cougar, skinny, skinny path like path of life, not much space
on either side just space to put one foot in front of the other so we got human on both sides of the path coming towards us,
human on both sides of the path going towards the other ones. Somebody is going to get squashed, somebody is going to get
their fingers stepped on. Granted if there is one that likes to walk down the middle of the path or on the opposite side,
if he is out all by himself. He could walk all over the path and not run into anybody, step on no toes, step on any fingers,
step on any emotions, step on a heart, step on a hurt. Hurt somebody's feelings maybe by what they say, same way as walking
down a path, we all have our own certain way of doing things, same way with walking down the path of life but as the most
of us say hey, we going to do this, this way and it is good, good fun, good plan, good decision. Then along comes this as
they call themselves, rebel. He is going to come down and mess everybody's organization up because he wants to do something
different, like we all decide we are going to paint all the houses white. He comes in and puts up his lodge right in the middle
of all those white houses and he paints that house bright red. No problem with bright red if that is his thing but he should
compromise. Maybe red, maybe not bright red that would be a compromise, a better compromise would be like pink. Pink would
go with white a lot better then bright red but everybody wrong but him because everybody should he thinks, repaint their house,
paint their house bright red. He gets very angry because everybody said no.
This is the way the war starts you know, these are ugly words like lances coming from
the tip of the tongue, like bullets coming from a musket, sometimes closed fist maybe weapon of war. Then we are all in trouble,
no peace, everybody fight over red house, over piece of dirt, glass of water. Let everybody have a little moisture, one person
does not need the whole drink, share, compromise. Down the path of life we have the right, the left and the center, we have
got the right side and the wrong side, the correct and the incorrect. So we all get together and we say hey, you want to walk
down the other side, you do not walk down our path, you have to walk down your own path, make your own path, get your own
cougar to make you a path. Go sit on your own rock all by yourself while the rest of us party time, having a big pow wow,
shake and bake, dance with the Spirit, dance with the drum, dance with a rattle and this oddball he is sitting on his rock
all by himself. If that's what makes him happy, let him be happy, let him sit on his rock, walk down his path. Some of us
like the company of others, we enjoy doing with others, sharing with others so we compromise. You say how many want to walk
down the right side of this path. How many want to walk down the wrong side or the left side for that matter. Anybody want
to raise a hand, do not cheat do not raise both hands. Anyway we decided all but maybe six or eight out of all, all of us
that want to walk down the right, walk down the other side. What to do, somebody will have to compromise, somebody going to
get their feelings hurt or their toes stepped on, fingers smashed maybe by accident or maybe not by purpose. Everybody on
right side of the path or one side of the path whether right of left, everybody go with the flow, everybody compromise.
Do not want to compromise go sit on your rock, make your own path, go find your own cougar
to make you a path. You are probably going to find one that walks down the opposite side of the path that you want to walk
down, so now you are really, really in big trouble. Are you going to argue with that big cougar or that big grizzly, I don't
think so. I think you are going to compromise real quick, real quick. But no, you argue with your fellow man, fellow mankind,
fellow human. You are not going to argue with that big grizzly, that big cougar, he will squash you like a bug, eat you up.
So why not compromise back at the beginning, everybody happy, do not be ugly, do not speak ugly, do not act ugly. Ugly you
know that's the opposite of pretty like sweet and sour, that sour face, speak sour words, sour human, sour. Nobody loves you,
nobody sometimes even likes you because you are sour, not just a little tart, you are sour, nobody wants to love, to like,
a sour, so what to do, compromise, all be happy. You want to go around the mountain one way, we go down the path and do not
have any idea how to make it easy or easier except compromise or go sit on your rock all by yourself, awfully lonely on that
rock out there all by yourself. You wrong way people maybe I wrong way to, we think about this, we think about this getting
along. Compromise, sweet voice, sweet smiles, no grumpy, do not be grumpy, do not be grouchy, do not sit out there on your
rock all by yourself.
You could even cross to the other side out there on your rock all by yourself and nobody
even knows you have gone. Think about this one maybe nobody even care. Not much fun you sit out there on that rock all by
yourself, you cross over to the other side and although your Earthly Temple of bone is just a used old house, you are in the
Spirit world now. You look down and there you lay on that rock, your old body, your old Earthly Temple being picked clean
because nobody cares enough to say a few words over your old house. Now maybe nobody finds you or knows where you are hiding
out because you are sour, do not be sour, do not go out on that rock and cross over. Soul and Spirit go up to the Heavenly
Village and you look back down at the bone pickers carrying your bones away, your bones and your old house, you say hey, if
I would not have been so sour if I would have compromised once in a while. Sit on rock is okay but not sit on rock all the
time by yourself, compromise. Then maybe someone would care enough to say hey, we have not seen that guy for a long time maybe
a couple of days, you know. Couple of days or nights so we are going to go look for him, going to check you out. They know
where you go sit on your rock all by yourself, better go check out the rock and there is your old house, bone pickers taking
the flesh off of your old bones, old house. They really should give your old house a little respect, really should think.
(WaDo) Thank you.
Thank you for furnishing such a nice house to such a nice Spirit and Soul while on Turtle
Island so do not be sour, do not go sit on your rock all by yourself,
"Compromise"
