[Beggar]

Please...

My child is starving...

Would you give me

some money?

I appreciate your

kindness, but it also

looks like you're in need

of zeny, too. Would you

like to join me?

[

Here you go,

take this.

Thank you so much.

I have nothing to offer you

in exchange, but I can share

a story with you and impart

some of the wisdom I've

learned over the years.

Everyone's been in

a situation where you

sometimes you feel that

you have to make a choice

between doing the right thing

and doing what you want, right?

You may feel trapped.

Well, let me tell you, when

it comes to a problem, all

the solutions available to

you aren't always obvious.

So just calm down and think.

What you can see and

understand might not match

with reality. Like the stars that are always there, but not visible

during the day, we'll always have hope, even if we can't see it.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Hmm...?

You seem surprised~

I sort of believe in fate and

sort of don't. Let me explain

it this way. I take life day by

day, with each day covering its

own spectrum with miracle on one end and tragedy on the other.

So each day has the capacity

for experiences that can be

good, bad or both. I believe

each person can take an

active role in shaping their

destiny, day by day.

Now, there may be certain

things that you can't control,

but even a pessimist might

be able to agree that this

is a world that not only has

tragedy, but miracles as well.

Stand up when you're down

and live your life with passion. The capacity for miracles will

always be there and know that

you can be someone else's

miracle. Isn't that wonderful?

Don't believe me?

Well, you'll see for

yourself, youngster.

There's much good in you.

Anger. People deal with

it in different ways. Some

suppress it. Some relish it.

Some fear being angry. Now,

to be simple, let's say there

are two kinds of anger.

The first is the kind that

isn't so productive. More of

a frustration that you can let

go. Someone cut you off on the

freeway or a friend innocently forgot your birthday? No biggie.

Don't let this kind of

anger get to you or you'll

look like a loser. Think of

the big picture and if you're

still upset, vent appropriately. Be honest without hurting anyone.

The second kind of anger

is righteous anger. You've

been wronged and need

some form of retribution.

Just don't misdirect your anger

and respond appropriately.

The second kind of anger is

righteous anger. You've been

wronged and need some form

of retribution. Remember to

make appropriate confrontations

and don't misdirect your rage.

Getting into a fight with

righteous anger, say to protect

someone dear to you, will make

you a hero. Fighting with anger

born of frustration will make you a bully. Know the difference.

What's wrong?

It might be a lot

to take in, I know.
