About me:

[INTROVERTED]..and connected to Kemet (Ancient Egypt)..I believe many of our answers are there. Psalm 64:3 - They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows..[My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows And their tongue a sharp sword.. There is no guard against a false tongue. It is bad to do wrong, but worse to encourage ourselves and one another in it. It is a sign that the heart is hardened to the greatest degree and is fully set to do evil. The upright man is the mark at which the wicked aim, they cannot speak peaceably either of him or to him. Praises to the most high "Hallelujah!"..He the "Lion of Judah" is always wit me]The most important mental power is the ability to admit what you don’t know. 2 realize fault is the first step 2 improvement. Don’t try to hide a lack of knowledge. People will usually see throughthis and you’ll appear foolish and arrogant. If u admit your ignorance, people are more willing 2 help you learn and respect your humility. People are sotuck on being right, and consider being wrong shameful. I believe people generally are afraid 2 lose status by looking stupid. This form of arrogance is a great weakness and the source of many problems. To crush it and embrace humility is the mark of true wisdom. With education ignorance starts to dissapate..This is another key in changing the world.GOIN THROUGH A SPIRITUAL TRANSITION WHILE BATTLE'N EVIL TEMPTATIONS EVERYDAY...THE WAR IS PSYCHOLOGICAL! IM SHIELDED BY THE MOST HIGH. HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE ME. IM RICH BITCH!!..I GOT WISDOM!.. "When you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it"-Buddah "SLOW IS SMOOTH , SMOOTH IS FAST"-The "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" originates from the military. With that context, the meaning is fairly obvious... moving too fast, or rushing it, is reckless thang to do and will most likely get you killed or put you in a very bad situation. If you move slowly, carefully and deliberate then you are really moving as fast as you can without needlessly increasing the risk on your life. This expression derives from the rifle range-it is what the drill instructors say to recruits being trained regarding loading, unloading, and aiming etc.- It is a Marine Corps expression we used to say all the time that bleeds over into other areas of life as well as the civilian world...Semper fi! "I'LL HAVE TO SAY I HAVE BECOME A MUCH STRONGER MAN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND NO LONGER DO I FEAR MAN. INSECURITY IS FEAR. I AM PREPARED FOR ANY CURVE BALLS THAT MAN HAS TO THROW MY WAY WHILE CONTINUING TO ENJOY LIFE. I HAVE MADE A COMMITIMENT TO DETACHMENT OF ANYTHING WORLDLY. I AM MENTALLY PREPARED FOR WHATEVER. NO LONGER CAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE BREAK ME...SUCCESS MANY TIMES IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR AREA OF CONFORT AND TO CONQUER A FEAR IS TO FACE THAT FEAR. I ASSURE YOU IT WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER AND STRONGER EVERYTIME, THAS FROM EXPERIENCE.." -CARDI One of the biggest lessons that i have learned in life is that we KNOW nothing at all..but regardless of all that it's either stand for something or fall for anythang whether it be for the good or the bad...hopefully you choose good over evil..The Lord gave us all the ability to distinguish between the 2 with the exception of the mentally ill. There is no excuse. We as humans or spiritual beings just always try to seek some kind of justification for our acts. Its your call...If in the end if what was written is validated to be TRUE, i know which way i want to go..Up!..i try to do the right thing as much as i can. I am not perfect...IM NO BETTER THAN YOU. I know it seems as though the world behaves backwards at times and that is because it does...just remember that the war today is psychological...you have the strength so dont give in. I myself am tempted by the ways of evil everyday. People will lie til the death and sometimes even have the audacity to do and say certain things until you end up thinking you're the one crazy...dont be so gullible, thas how the devil works. I want to remain faithful to our Creator. I dont believe that anybody is too bad to be forgivin for their sins just as long as they come with a sincere heart ahead of time and prove they've changed their ways because he know's our hearts and it will be tested. It was written that he will come at an appointed hour like a thief in the night. I know one thing I want to meet our Creator and him be pleased enough with my deeds to accept me. Don't you?..I have the answers to nothing but what i can do is give the wisest advice that i know. Don't hold me liable...make your own decisions. One thing I like about technology is that you can voice yourself to the masses with no interruption, if they are actually reading it then they have to understand, but not necessarily agree. I've learned to not be so rigid with people, thats probably the worst thing you can do. Let them hang themselves then they will see, that all they have left is Hope and the Lord.. -Cardi "Men and women are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds and unnecessary desires."Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. -Buddha Men of Wisdom Shall Come... This is the hour which has been appointed for the books to be unsealed, and for the men of wisdom to raise their voices in the wilderness declaring to the whole world: Make straight the way of the LORD, for the Day of the LORD is at hand! When the prophecy teachers speak about the end times, they all miss one sign- those with insight will come and give understanding to the many. These chosen ones have been prepared by GOD himself. Until now they have been hidden away, like David and his mighty men in the cave at Adullum. “And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me.” (Isaiah 49:2-4) These messengers have been prepared like Joseph, waiting in prison until the day of his showing unto Israel. The life of Joseph was filled with suffering and sorrow until the appointed time for His rising among the people. Joseph first had to be purged with fire before the LORD would use him. Rejection and repudiation, hatred and jealousy, false accusation and abandonment were all used by the LORD to purify Joseph for the hour of his ministry to the people. The men of wisdom, whom the LORD is now raising up, have walked the same path. This must be, for whenever GOD chooses to use a man, He first must empty him. The fires endured by these broken ones have been intense. The Lord has prepared them “by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.” Out of these flames, the LORD has forged a people for Himself with a faith made of steel. In their mouths, He has placed a sharpened swift sword. They shall teach the people the truth, and shall cast down all the altars of baal! And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. Daniel 11:33-35 Why haven’t the prophecy teachers told us to look for the men of wisdom? And where would you expect them to be found? These anointed messengers of the LORD will be found in the wilderness, even as John the Baptist came before the first coming of the LORD. I CAN SEE ALL THOSE LIES YOU TELL ME AS THEY FLOW OUT OF YOUR MOUTH GET BEHIND THEE SATAN I HAVE A MISSION TO FULFILL THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH PREY FOR YOU TO DEVOUR THERE ARE PLENTY WHO WILL SUCCUMB TO YOU AND ACCEPT THE RICHES OF THIS EARTH FOR THE PRICE OF THEIR SOULS THEY DO THIS CONSCIOUSLY.....FOOLS!!!!

I HAVE MADE IT THROUGH MY TIME OF LEARNING TRIBULATION NOW BEING GROOMED TO TEACH THERE LIVES NO DECEPTION IN MY EYES I SHALL MARCH FORWARD IN RIGHTOUSNESS FOR ALL ETERNITY GET BEHIND THEE SATAN I HAVE DESTINY TO FULLFILL! We are trained to believe, not to know. The Good thang about that is that, beliefs can be changed. Knowledge is just information in general, but it can be dangerous and can be used to misguide and decieve us....Wisdom is just filtering and applying that gathered information appropriately to keep us on the right path.-Cardi TODAY I WILL BE COMMITTING MYSELF TO DETACHMENT. I WILL ALLOW MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME THE FREEDOM TO BE AS THEY ARE. I WILL NOT RIGIDLY IMPOSE MY IDEA OF HOW THINGS SHOULD BE. I WILL NOT FORCE SOLUTIONS ON PROBLEMS, THEREBY CREATING NEW PROBLEMS. I WILL PARTICIPATE IN EVERYTHING WITH DETACHMENT INVOLVEMENT. TODAY I WILL FACTOR IN UNCERTAINTY AS AN ESSINTIAL INGREDIANT OF MY EXPERIENCE. INMY WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT UNCERTAINTY, SOLUTIONS WILL SPONTANEOUSLY EMERGE OUT OF THE PROBLEM, OUT OF CONFUSION, DISORDER AND CHAOS. THE MORE UNCERTAIN THINGS SEEM TO BE, THE MORE SECURE I WILL FEEL, BECAUSE UNCERTAINTY IS MY PATH TO FREEDOM. THROUGH THE WISDOM OF UNCERTAINTY, I WILL FIND MY SECURITY. I WILL STEP INTO A FIELD. A FIELD OF ALL POSSIBILITIES AND ANTICIPATE THE EXCITEMENT THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN I REMAIN OPEN TO AN INFINITY OF CHOICES. WHEN I STEP INTO A FIELD OF ALL POSSIBILITIES, I WILL EXPERIENCE ALL THE FUN, ADVENTURE, MAGIC, AND MYSTERY OF LIFE. .... Let me tell you why you're here... You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something very wrong with the world. You don't know what it is -but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? The Matrix? Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. What truth? That you are a slave Cardi. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch -a prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is -you have to see it for yourself... Cardi: "Well I've seen it.." do you?CLICK ON BANDANAS"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, while you strike at his heel."

I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”-Bruce Lee Become skilled in your speach..The tongue of a man is his sword and effective speech is stronger than all fighting...Wounds heal but words are everlasting.-Wisdom of Ancient EgyptThe names Cardi, im about 5'10" 155 lbs. Everyday I try to better myself as a father as well as a man and I think that I do that pretty well. Im pretty confident in my own skin and what i stand for...I come from a very southern family that has raised me well, but ultimately its up to me to make the right choices. They have taught me nothing but morals, values, wisdom and i wouldn't change them for the world. I consider myself to be more of a spiritual person than religious. Religion seems to have seperated and devided more people than unify them these days. Growing up, people always saw me as quiet or kinda anti-social because I was more of an observer than center of attention. The way I was, I believe contributed in me becoming a wiser man, but at the same time I think people took me as timid, but overtime all that knew me personally, knew that to not be the case. This "moderate silence" i have, has always given me an advantage over many.. because people underestimate me because of it as well as underestimate my intelligence. As i got older i began to open up more around people, I had to in order to network and to find opportunity. I believe if you remain open minded to opinions and observe more than you run your mouth thinking you know everything you will become much wiser. When I make mistakes I actually try to learn from them as well as those of others. I have a positive swag and many people say I have a very strong (((Aura))). Sometimes I feel like people call me to hang out just because, Which is fine, but its kinda a weird phenomena to me because they're not getting much of anything material outa me. I may listen to problems that they may be enduring and give some advice,but thas about it..People(in general) bring a lot of problems amongst themselves because they are willfully ignorant to the the TRUTH, they think by ignoring the truth it is an easier route, a route they think is much more self-satisfying, Selfish, bottom line!...They'll realize it soon or later to not be, betta slow down 'fuh ya wreck out!!. I've had a grudge against women for quite some time now due to fucked up experiences, including a divorce but im getting over this grudge cause deep inside i know they are not all the same. Recently I've met some women with real class, they are not all the same but still i know that a lot of them have the same shit in common when they start actin up. Women can be quite evil at times when they don't get their way, I call them "Little Eve's" Ha!...surely some women have her DNA. I've dealt with many women in my life and often find myself studying the females species due to some of their acts. I realize that they are by far the most complex creatures, for Ex. the "Black Widow", they kill their mate after sex WTF?..It was written that, "the ways of a woman are unknown"... this is true. I will testify to that because I've been through a stage of almost insanity and nearly became a hater of one of Gods precious creations but I kept hope. I now know enough about women to not be a complete fool. I now only seek out a "God fearing" woman as a life partner and know the difference compared to a woman that's just pretending to be. If you don't know what i mean when i say "God fearing" then chances are you ain't fuh me...Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom...and a woman that feareth the LORD, I shall praise.. (Read:Proverbs 31:30). If it ever seems that i've played the fool with a woman then it's only because "I went for broke". At some point in your life you will have to do the same. You will have to let your defenses down in order to give the relationship a fair shot..or it definately won't work..so yes you are gambling when it come to a relationship(no way around it), hopefully the person is for you. I'm guilty for this myself in the past, but many people have their defenses up initially going into the relationship, which causes immediate problems, but thas just my opinion...Who am i to validate this?..To all the woman out there and I love my women, but I pray you read my page. Do me a favor. If I let you into my realm make sure you know what you are goin up against IF you have ulterior motive. Yes, im a very DEEP thinker and more than anything vigil. People don't like to be judged, it's only obvious that people don't like to be judged, and i'm not the one to judge, but just remember that one day you will be judged by your higher power, The Creator, Alpha and Omega...what's so hard about treating people the way that you want to be treated?..I believe everyting else would fall in place if we do this.People on this earth dont tend to reciprocate too well unless it's negativity..isn't that some bazarre shit?Ever wonder what quiet people are thinking?...Well,I am somewhat of a introvert..the “quiet people” and this is what I am thinking when I am in new place or group.. When I sit among a new group of people who I don’t know all too well I analyze. I watch for the person who is the center of attention..I keep my eye out for the person who is always getting picked on or shamed and( usually have some compassion for that person).I look for the people who speak with substance over quantity. I look for the people that have a sense of humor. I can see who is judging me off tops(I have good senses)...I look for who I might have the most in common with and what my place or role in this group will be. I am quiet in general. I try to choose my words carefully in the beginning, but once I feel comfortable I open up and end my quietness until someone new shows up. Im not really shy tho..but I used to be. I guess I overcame that throughout life. I believe introverts choose solitary over social activities by preference, whereas shy people avoid social encounters out of fear. Being shy has little to do with being an introvert. Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whos energy is drained by being around other people. Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. I enjoy thinking, exploring my thoughts and feelings. When I do in fact avoid social situations its because I see those people as being ignorant or the encounter may potentially become conflictive and I know my temper, I also think I still suffer a little from PTSD but it seems to be getting better… I know conflict resolution but depending how the other person is coming off(talking ) to me Im no good with conflict. Most of the time people are either raising their voice or tryn to be funny or sarcastic, then thas whenmy demeanor flips. I have a temper towards ignorance, not towards the reasonable and mature. Those kinds of social situations drain my energy but I definately like to get out.. when im around people for any length of time, such as at a party, I always end up needing time alone to "recharge.” When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective. Introverts often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, drawing, and using computers.We are more analytical before speaking.We are less likely to seek stimulation from others because our own thoughts and imaginations are stimulating enough. Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk. If you ever wonder what quiet people are thinking…I will tell you its not about who’s the best Basketball player? Or who has the most money and best cars in the city and shit like that?…its more DEEP questions…Things like What exactly does God look like? Hell?..Is their life on other planets and do they have intelligents like us?..Did we really evolve from monkeys?..How did the Egyptians alighn the pyramids to contellations with no technology like we have today..stuff like that?.. sometimes I think that people who constantly talk are insecure about themselves and need to prove something. “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something”Sometimes i get frustrated when people trip about " Man, Cardi you don't holla or hang out no mo'.." I just wish that people would see that sometimes we have to go in different directions in our lives based on our circumstances, to find other opportunites and gateways to happiness..and know that our paths in life will merge back together eventually or at least run parallel. "Real friends" will still be there..."Photography is a way of feeling,of touching,of loving. what you have caught on film is captured forever..It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything" .. I am surely a man of "valor"..People will tell you that I have a descent sense of humor, but also that I have had a lot of hardships and near-death experiences in my life so don't play wit me. Im also a USMC war vet(2nd Marines)..give me a break. I try to remain humble. People constantly get outa line. At times I have to stop being nice and just tighten they ass up right then and there. I got my Street Cred too, so dont get it twisted.... even then, I realize I got no control over what people do. People gone do what the hell they wanna do. It Took me a long time to realize that my best option is to just let them hang themselves and get my blessings. Im not perfect, but I face in that direction and know my worth, a persons definition of me doesn't define me, its just how they see me. what's i think is pretty interesting to see, is when i hold up a mirror to people who have done me wrong in life and they freak out when they see their "reflection" or feel the effects of what they have sowed, it's the best entertainment i shit you not but aye, gotta love'em all its more experience to put on my resume I guess ha!... I know Vengeance isn't mine, but a lotta times I decide to make it mine, but Im getting better in this area. I guess now im learning that if i can't change something, that my best bet is to just "change perspective" of the whole situation.. Know this..I am a very vigil person so i highly recommend you don't come with no ulterior bullshit cause you'll be sorry. Remember us southern folk have a certain kind of wisdom and we'll know ya got some'm up your sleeve.. believe that...Now back to business, Afterall, Thas what we're here for right?..

The Seven Deadly Sins are wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, business without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice and politics without principle. -Ghandi A LITTLE BIT 'BOUT KEMET(ANCIENT EGYPT) I have a strong interest in the Kemetic civilization and believe that they were geniuses, considering the fact that they alighned the pyramids to constellations with minimal technology back then..how do you do that?..well anyway, the Kemetic people were ancient black people of the Nile Valley. After many successful attempts over a period of thousands of years, the land was finally conquered by invaders. This invasion ended the Kemetic empire. It was the first monotheistic tradition and the oldest spiritual system in the world. As a result, of the downfall this gave rise to the Egyptian people. The Egyptian people were the conquerors who settled in the land and there they remained after each conquest from the Arabic influence to that of the Romans. The closing of the Egyptian temples by the order of Emperor Justinian in the fifth century (AD) was the attempt to destroy African civilization by reorganizing many of North Africa's principal features.So where did the ancient Kemetic people go to flee from foreign invasions and religious oppressors? Well, some stay around the ancient land, but it is believed that most of them migrated to sub-Sahara Africa and to the West of Africa.The Kemetic religion embodies a system of spiritual cultivation, the oldest in the world. The next closest tradition in terms of age would be Vedic tradition of India, which based on the Rig Veda, could be traced back to about 1500 BCE, and even the Vedic tradition would appear also to owe some of its spiritual science to Kemet. The earliest written parts of the Bible would have been written 1000 BCE, based on a tradition dating back to Abraham, who would have lived one thousand years earlier, in about 2000 BCE. Moses lived about 1300 BCE. Chinese Taoist philosophy dates back only to about 500 BCE, as does Confucianism.KEMETIC BELIEFSI concur with most of the kemetic beliefs.They believe it is about living a successful, glorious and peaceful life. They believe the purpose of our existence is to develop our Spiritual Selves, in ways that gives full expression to our Divine Power through the integration and balancing of all aspects of our Spiritual Selves, and the harmonizing of our relationships to the world and nature. The goal is to create "Unity Within Diversity". The statement "As Above; So Below" refers to the fact that the Objective (material world) is a reflection of the Subjective (inner world). It has been referred to as magic, and miracles in the Objective World, which are expressions of the Spiritual Power manifesting in the Objective World. When this power is misused, that is, not wielded with the idea of creating "Unity Within Diversity" then disease, war, discord occurs in the world. We are all manifestations of a transcendent force: the Mother/Father God, and we are all connected, and powerful. The purpose of spiritual cultivation on all levels is to reveal the unity in diversity on all levels, and thus create peace within the individual, and in the world. The purpose also was to create Maat (balance, harmony, justice, righteousness, reciprocity, and order). These are the key concepts in any ethical system, and they emerged first within the ancient Nile Valley of Africa. Ptah-Hotep & the Instruction of Ke'Gemni: The Oldest Books in the World 6th Dynasty (2300 to 2150 BCE.) Ancient African Wisdom. Ptah-hotep served during the reign of Izezi as a sage. His maxims are in the Prisse Papyrus which are in the Louvre. Another copy of these is in the British Museum. In these maxims, he has told his fellow Kemetian to conduct their affairs in a quiet and righteous manner. He encouraged them to be truthful and be kind and tolerant to their neighbors and fellow countrymen. Kemetic Religion Oldest religion in the world Ankh : The Original Cross Book of the Dead of Maiherperi "He speaketh to me the words of men. I listen to him and I repeat to him the words of gods." Egyptian Book of The DeadThe Judgment of the Dead (1427-1392 BCE) The "Declaration of Innocence" had to be said by the deceased in the "Hall of Justice" descending to the broad "Hall of Two Truths", purging all the forbidden things he/she has done in order to be purified, and be allowed Rebirth. If the heart failed the test it was thrown to the Ammut "the Eater of Souls". There were forty-two Confessions with forty-two judges. One must pass these confessions after practicing holiness to achieve an acceptable death of immortality. These "Confessions" is one of the most distinctive, innovative and best known features of the Book of the Dead. These forty-two declarations were found on papyrus in the tomb of the Nubian Maiherperi of the 18th Dynasty..................... My Chinese astrological sign is the dog not to mention Dogs are my favorite animals. My personality accurately fits that of my astrological sign. Dogs are honest,straightforward,and friendly. They are extremely protective of themselves and their loved ones. With a passion for fair play and justice, they never fail to rescue you time after time. They may rant and rave, but they never rest until they right the wrong. They are true humanitarians and suffer with the world.In spite of their concern for others,social graces and fancy parties do not impress them. Having sharp eyes, they will see through people's motives. They are quite private about their personal lives and someone prying into their affairs make them secretive and withdrawn. Once you gain their confidence, they open up freely Dog people are honest, faithful and sincere. They respect tradition and value honor, and enjoy helping people. The Dog is very righteous, and always is the first to speak out against injustice. He is not good at socializing with friends, and rarely shines in company, but he is intelligent, caring and a good listener. Loyal, faithful and honest, he has the most profound sense of duty. You can count on him and he'll never let you down. And as a good listener, the Dog is also very reliable in keeping secrets for others. He simply doesn't like to gossip. The Dog is an agreeable companion - when he is in a good mood. But when panic strikes, he can turn nasty, and bark till he is tired. He can be judgmental, defensive and picky if you rub him the wrong way, but as long as you know how to pet and massage him, the Dog makes absolutely the best and most honorable companion on earth. Dogs are born old and get younger as they age. They take everything very serious. You may hear the Dog complains a lot about street lamps, about traffic, or about weather, but as he gets older, the less he takes his own criticisms seriously. The loyal Dog makes a splendid captain of industry, a priest, an educator, a critic, or a doctor. But whatever his career, it'll have in him a spokesman whose ideals will be profound and often original. When the fear becomes reality, Dogs go a little crazy. The Dog enters a relationship where he is the giver and the partner is the taker. He is usually very generous and loyal, and in love, he is honest and straightforward. But he will have romantic problems all his life - it's his own fault, really: he leads himself by his emotional in stability and his eternal anxiety. He is a worrier. Among the animal zodiac, Dog individuals are the most humanitarian. To the Chinese, Dogs represent justice and equality. These are the givers in life, prepared to sacrifice their own dreams, ambitions and desires for the sake of others, particularly for those they love. Fiercely loyal to those they love, Dogs are ever ready to jump to the defense of any member of their family or friends who is being attacked by either word or deed. They have a penchant for championing the underdog. Born with an innate sense of decency and a need for equalibrium in a chaotic world, Dogs strongly denounce injustice and wrongdoing, generously giving useful and effective advice to those around them. Their warmth, empathy and genuine interest in others win them many close friendships. Dogs inspire confidence in others, and the confidence is justified. They will always do their utmost for others, and their dedication can go to the point of sacrifice. Dog people deserve to be held in the highest esteem. The Dog makes a faithful, honest and courageous friend, and has a deep sense of justice. These people tend to be both magnanimous and prosperous, yet they can also be dogged, guarded, and defensive. Because they genuinely feel they know best, they can sometimes appear bossy. They accomplish goals quickly, their successes the result of hard work and intelligence. But the Dog never really relaxes. Despite appearing calm and at rest, his heart and mind are always jumping. The Dog is an introvert who rarely shows his feelings; when he does it's only because he thinks it is absolutely necessary. He's stubborn in the extreme and knows what he wants. Frequently cynical, he is feared for his sharp tongue and his acid and disagreeable remarks. He gives the impression of looking systematically for faults in everything he touches. This is because he is the world's biggest pessimist and expects nothing out of life. With their forthright honesty and true moral integrity they soon become pillars of society, respected for their views and trusted by all who come to know them. Because they have the knack of gaining backing from important people, their careers are often brilliant. Dogs find it difficult to adapt to change, perhaps because they have a reputation for being innately pessimistic and expect the worst to happen. They have a tendency to become wistful and nostalgic about the past. Of all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, Dogs are the least materialistic for they are unselfish individuals who care more about people than they do about money or success. It doesn't worry them to be without the material comforts. Even if they are in the money, their tastes are simple enough. But if by any chance they should suddenly and urgently need money, nobody is better equipped than them to get it! The loyal Dog makes a splendid captain of industry, an active trade union leader, a priest, or an educator. But whatever his career, it will have in him a spokesman whose ideas will be profound and often original. Nations would do well to follow such champions, for under no other sign do we find united in the same person such uprightness, rectitude and passion for work allied to so little personal ambition. The three phases of the life of the Dog are all marred by uncertainty: anxious childhood, difficult youth, middle-age defeatist before the work is to be done, and an old-age full of regrets for not having done enough. It is said that a Dog born in daytime will be calmer and less anxious than one born during the night. It is at night that the dog's job is to guard the house -- and thus he will be eternally on the lookout, always on the alert, barking all the time to scare away intruders and finding no time to rest. For people born at night under this sign, it's a dog's life! The Loving Dog Though Dogs have a reputation for not easily entrusting their affections, when they do, those friendships are for life. Romantically, Dogs gives the impression of being cold fish but this appearance is misleading; it's just that they're anxious and doubt their own feelings as they do those of others. In fact, personal relationships for the Dog are the most essential and important components of his life; money, power, success -- all the elements that might motivate members of other signs -- simply don't mean a thing to Dogs without first having a loving partner by their side and a stable family and home life. Some born under this influence may encounter difficulties in finding a life-long mate primarily because of the importance they attach to their relationships, but also because of anxiety related to mistrust of people they don't know. In love, the most salient characteristic of Dogs is their loyalty. Once these people have pledged their allegiance or sworn their marriage vows, they will stick to their partners through thick and thin. The Dog can be happy with the Horse who will let him get on with his causes in exchange for a little independence. With the Tiger, life becomes a battle -- the two of them against the rest of the world. United, they will adventure together in the name of truth and justice. But it is with the placid and serene Rabbit that the Dog has the biggest chance of finding peace and quiet if he wants it. The Dog also likes the Snake, but he is in frequent conflict with the Dragon, who is too proud to accept the Dog's caustic comments and critical approach. As for the Ram, the Dog has no time for her whims, selfishness, or superficiality. November is the month of the Dog.
