SECRETS OF LIFE (R) 12/30/24

  • "THE DICTATOR

    There was once a cruel dictator who ruthlessly persecuted everyone who
    thwarted his ambitions in the smallest way. Having no conscience, he
    delighted in making everyone as outwardly miserable as he was inwardly
    tormented.

    Finally overthrown by enemies, he fled to another country, where he was
    forced to live in a small and old house. One day a former enemy was driving
    by in a car, when the wheels accidentally splashed mud against the house.
    The tyrant let out a howl of indignation heard a block away.

    Remarked an observer, 'There is no howl like the howl of a persecutor who
    feels persecuted.'

    A man's relationship with others, for peace or discord, will be the same as
    his relationship with himself."
