We all wish to be brave and strong in the face of disaster. We all wish to be looked up to for our endurance and efforts to help others.

Our own sorrows seem heavy enough, even when lifted by certain long-term joys. But watching others hurt is the breaker of most any heart.

Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.

Forgive: Make a conscious decision to cease to harbor resentment, which includes forgiving a debt and giving up one's resolve to retaliate.

Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. Yet both have been hounded, harassed and falsely imputed to be devouring and devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their detractors.

We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.
