Exert from A Cherokee Feast of Days

"Remember when you do anything, there will be someone that will find fault, no matter what you do. The pleasure of an unhappy person is to find something wrong in others to salve his own discontent.

The Cherokees believe that tests sharpen their wit and help them a s qua dv, win or triumph, over opposite powers. It would be beneath them to accept criticism as something they must overcome.

The Cherokees flick it off like to si, pesky misquitos.We all try to understand our differences of opinion, to care what effect we cause in other people. But the bane of anyone's existence is ignorance---our own.

We want more than anything to correct what we know is wrong. And what we find wrong in others may be a reflection of our own wrongs."

A simple thought that even the the faiths of others teach ...

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

And

Judge not lest you be judged.
