Human beings are weak creatures. Others easily upset us. They make us remorseful, fearful, or angry. We usually say he or she upset us. They made me fearful, or angry. Is this correct? Once a philosopher said, "When you give love, you will receive love. If you give hate, you will receive hate." If you give anger, you will receive anger. If you are thankful, you will be thanked. Although I cannot determine if this is a universal principle, this advice gives us useful tool to understand why we come across happiness or difficulties in our lives.
This is a story of a dog and an old owner. Once upon a time in Japan, there were two old men living in a nearby village. One was friendly and honest. The other was distrustful and unfriendly. The friendly old man was "Yosaku". The other was "Gohei". Yosaku's dog was "Taro". Yosaku was poor, but he loved his dog, Taro. Taro seemed to love his owner Yosaku, too. One day, Taro was barking like crazy in Yosaku's backyard. Taro was barking at a corner of his yard. It appeared that Taro wanted Yosaku to dig the part where he was barking. Yosaku dug his yard where Taro pointed. Yosaku dug out wooden boxes full of gold nuggets. He became rich.
This is a story for Japanese small children. This story ends right there. It does not say what happened with Gohei, later. It does not say how Yosaku lived after that. It appeared to be teaching children that happiness never comes to bad people. Only happy people can receive happiness. Again, if one gives happiness, he receives happiness. People's reaction is the mirror image of your attitude. Next time when you are angry, you may want to think if you are not giving anger.
