Being at the edge is never a good place to be. If one was to fall, I am sure life would never be the same again. Once I heard about the Indians that drove a heard of Buffalo over a cliff. Sure the first buffalo that got there stopped. and they knew they shouldn’t get any closer. But the rest of the heard didn’t know about the cliff and they crowded and pushed the first ones off the edge and it killed them.
Man is much the same, what he doesn’t know, always seems to hurt some one. Wise men are few and a lot of wise men are dead because they knew too much. Men that know the truths, can teach those that will listen and those that listen and learn, are the ones that will lead the way.
Never jump at something too soon, as there may be a better way, if you will stop to see where you are ! Of course, the ones in front were the leaders and they did stop, This should tell you that the follower’s must also be taught and educated to some degree. Education for all, is not a choice, It is a necessity, If you are going to lead, remember that those behind you, are slower!
If you do not have some one to follow, keep your eyes open, look before leaping, hold on to something as your path has many curves and edges. Never take the shorter path unless you know there is no danger and all dangers do not come as stationary things. That rock that fell, you didn’t think about that, did you? Mother nature sets many traps, if not today then maybe tomorrow. Always look ahead and make your plans carefully.
Take the time to see the beauty before you. Listen to the music around you. Smell the pleasers that come with the beauty of nature. Unless it is of great value to you, never pick it up, leave if for others to see and enjoy.
A world at peace means, people at peace. People sleep when the world is at rest. Mother nature will wake you and your world at the same time.
If it is cold, dress to be warm, if it is too warm, dress to be cool. This is Something that we all practice. There are many things that you know instinctively, like when you feel good or bad. Daylight or Dark of night. You also know what to do when you are hungry or sleepy. There are many things that are natural for man or women. People will learn even when they don’t know they are learning.
Most things are taught, you learned and your children must also learn. Teaching is for all people and Teaching should be done by those in position to teach. There are no people that know everything, but the brain has a capacity to hold more information that man has ever known. That of course, does not include this one. I once owned the book of knowledge but it was traded for a hand in marriage. Believe me when I say, I should have kept the book.
It has been said, what we do not know, will not hurt us. Nothing has been more un-true than this statement. What we do not know, is painful, if one does not know, what they are saying. Once when I was young, someone told me, It is better to remain silent and let people think you are ignorant, than it is to speak out, and remove all doubts.
Boy, Have I ever learned things since I started to write this. You can make your contributions at any Library and you can leave that space on your check, where the amount usually goes, “blank”. We can fill that part in for you, so just sign the check and drop it off at my office at 101 South Central Station.
Thank you again ,
We, the few, who have learned!
