Ptsum,

The more times I see words of wisdom, that cross all cultures the more strengthened I become in the belief we all have the same creator.

If memory serves me me right the Tsalagi have a companion story that explains that both wolves are us and we can not kill one without killing the other. I forgot exactly how the story goes but that is the lesson learned from it.

It's like two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other.

Little Hamer, you have just proven my point and the lesson of the story.

It is not total BS, Ball Pean. It's more profound than you know.

God gets angry, jealous and hateful. Does that make him evil? If you judge people by those standards then you consider God evil. Not a good lesson for the kiddies imo.

Little Hamer, we're not talking Christian beliefs here, there is no wisdom in that and you are in way over your head.

Yeah, you're talking about making people feel shame by calling people evil because they have human emotions, and calling everyone who gets angry evil. Shallow. Very shallow.
