There once was an old man who was teaching his grandson wisdom, he decided to take his grandson out to the woods to watch the worlds nature. Upon entering a watch tower the boys face light up with great enthusiasm as he seen crooked, rusted and historically old stairs in which they needed to walk to in order to look out at the woods. The little boy was very questionable about his surroundings and everything that they seen. Within a few minutes of waiting patiently they came across a pack of wolves, two of which were fighting. Looking innocently frightened the boy quietly asked his grandad “why are they fighting?”
The grandad turned to the boy and said “My boy, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. “
Eagerly puzzled the boy replied “What for and why are they fighting?”
Pausing for a second to look back out towards the wolves he spoke these words, “One wolf represents evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other represents good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.”
The boy thought to himself for a few seconds before asking, “Grandfather which wolf wins?”
The old man whispered, “What ever one you feed.”

“People of this generation have clearly misapprehended their teachings from our elders, ancestors and leaders. We are beginning to look an awful lot like fools with our disrespectful attitude towards the society and the people in and around it. These supercilious, frivolous, irrational judgemental opinions we spread are only causing degradation in the world. We must first find the main cause for this ever arising problem in order to stop it. I believe that the problem is vastly increasing all over the world begetting embittered nihilistic teenagers. Thanks to corrupt, improper, shameful and sumbliminal social and visual media children are lead to believe idolising “pop stars” “commercial artists” or “tv stars” is a way of life. No, it is not, yes we should praise and exhort artists because they after all inspire us to chase our dreams, believe in ourselves and seek to develop and hone our own skills, traits and talents. However theres a difference between apotheosising and hanging on every word “pop artists” say,every trend the set, every action they act and every message they portray in their work. If you truly wish to succeed you first must succeed and knowing yourself, at this you decide what you want in life, focus on its main attractions, act towards achieving it and succeed. Don’t become an idoliser to the wrong person instead speak and be heard, study and learn how to interpolate your own knowledge and make your mistakes and become wiser. Think different.”

And that, as is only right, no younger man shall attempt to or strike his elders, unless ordered to do so by the rulers. Indeed I don’t think that the young will behave badly to their elders in any way, because they will be prevented by two effective safeguards, fear an respect. Respect will stop them laying hands on their parents, an they will fear the assistance the victim would get from those who count themselves his sons and brothers and parents.

On your journey to seek inspiration look no further than walking distance. Life is full of beauty and inspiration, notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind, live your life to the fullest potential, inhale the cold air and listen to the wonderful sound of nature. If you seek inspiration, look no further than your heart, inspiration is self created, what you see others may fail to see, what you hear others may fail to hear and what you feel others may fail to feel. The only way someone is perfect is when they accept their imperfections, thus leading to a self betterment in mind and body, allowing you to receive inspiration from the smallest acts of kindness and the noblest acts of courage. So if you seek inspiration look no further than inside.

Music the way the dancer intended.

Is it the dexterity of the pianist as they gracefully play every key touching every single emotion in your body, is it the sound of the drummer causing in controllable fibrillation throughout your body, is it the bass fufilling your body’s hiatus or is it the contrast between each and every instrument combined enlivening your soul and liberating your mind. What ever it is, music is thee vital key for any dancer in life.

Music liberates.
