ATTACK DOES NOT PAY

A BETTINA “SPARKLES, SHARING:
How can we all live in Harmony?
A PARABLE ABOUT THE BLACK BEAR:
My husband and I built a house in the
middle of the National Forest in Arkansas.
We put out food for birds and squirrels…
and to my surprise black bears came to
nibble too. Well, fear gripped me!!! Then
I was told the Black Bear does not like
confrontations.. unlike the Grisly Bear.
When our dogs bark the bears leave…
the Grisly, as is its nature, would attack.
Luckily there are no Grislys in the Ozarks.
The moral of the story is:
We live in harmony with the black bear.
He shared his forest with us and since he
doesn’t attack, he can come back for more
nibbles. One the other hand, the Grisly Bear
gets into a lose-lose situation.
WE HURT OURSELVES WHEN WE
ATTACK OTHERS.
