This Journey Called Life

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his
wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" the mouse wondered.
He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse,
I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence
to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there
is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my
prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off
my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the
farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound
of a m ousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she
did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital,
and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever
with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingre dient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit
with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she di ed. Many people came for her
funeral, so the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat
for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great
sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it
doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are
all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out
for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

 

that is so true

 

I was just reading another ,other/political, post and I liked a lot of what I read , but the theam seemed to blame the troubles of the world on the on the left ,[
I do not consider myself left or right , I think that, that is the problum , divide and conquer , our system seems to me to have evoled into a pyrimid game , the top being gready for $$$ , power ect. and polaizing us so that we each blame thee other and forget to watch who's pulling the strings ]
So I did not make a reply , [ fuguring that it would just start the games ]
Then the next post I read was this one , and now I'll go back to the other post and put in my 2 cents worth [ do not be out flanked ].

 

I know how you feel John, I am not into gloom and doom but on the other hand we do still live in the best country and we do sometimes have to ride the roller coaster of up and downs in our country, no country is immune to the trials. And we do need to collectivley stand up from time to time and stretch out our lungs and holler enough is enough and we as Americans do,do it when the time arises. Like Toby Kieth stated in one of his songs, you have rattled the big dog's cage!! Now the gentle giant is awake. Goodluck,,Rick

 

Just tacked that to the union board.....
