Native Indian Prayer of Wisdom

Native American Code Of Ethics
Chief Black Chicken, Yankton Dakota (Sioux)

Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often.
The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
~
Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path.
Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem
from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
~
Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others
to make your path for you. It is your road, and
yours alone. Others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.
~
Treat the guests in your home with much consideration.
Serve them the best food, give them the best
bed and treat them with respect and honor.
~
Do not take what is not yours whether from
a person, a community,the wilderness or from a
culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
~
Respect all things that are placed upon
this earth – whether it be people or plant.

Valentine No More

Well nothing beats Malaysia in stirring up controversies. As the Bard puts it, it has always and will always be much 'Ado About Nothing'

Now, the Muslims and the Christians are at it again. This time, it is the observance of the secular lover's
festival of Saint Valentine.

The Muslims says that is is a Christian thing and must never be celebrated. Not so, says the Christians as Valentine has never found recognition in their faith.

As so the battle of the lovers continue.

Meanwhile the country has run out of roses and are importing them. How will the chocolatiers fair and will
hotels and restaurant be affected by this turn of events?

Let us see who are finally going to be the victims of Valentine's Day!
