There's an old legend about a tribe that was always at war with other tribes. They murdered, raped, and pillaged. They had no morals, love, or compassion. They were so violent, they seemed to have a death wish. An alarmed elder called together some reasonable members from all the other tribes to try and save the violent tribe's people from themselves. After much discussion the reasonable people decided to take the secret of success and happiness away from those who abused it and hide it from them. But where should this secret be hidden? Some suggested it be buried deep in the earth. Others said to put it on top of the highest mountain. Still others suggested it be sunk deep in the ocean. There was no agreement until the elder who had gathered them together made this proposal. "Let us hide the secret within the people themselves," he suggested. "People like this will never find happiness and success there." To this day people have been feverishly pursuing success and happiness, searching for the secret. Relatively few ever find its hiding place — already within themselves.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 557 | Print | E-mail
