Guest guest Posted February 21, 2000 Report Share Posted February 21, 2000 In the Sioux tradition, everyone has their own song. Some people harmonize with each other, and some people do not. A modern example is that some people like classical music, some like pop, some like rap, some like rock, some like country, etc. The people who think urban rap music is wonderful might not like country music, and vice versa. . The people who think classical music is wonderful might not like rock music, and vice versa. This does not make any music the RIGHT music. I think that part of the soul's evolution is learning to accept everyone's music as part of the great universal song. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Tim and Cassandra disagreeing, as long as Tim realizes that Cassandra is an aspect of himself, and Cassandra realizes that Tim is an aspect of herself. We are all part of the great ocean of energy that is ALL. One other thing, we tend to have the most volatile reactions when we see others exhibiting traits we would prefer to purge in ourselves. My Dad used to say that you could always tell who was more incorrect in an argument. It is the one who is loudest and most vehement.
