A shaman was asked:
What is poison?
Anything beyond what you need is poison.
It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger, or anything else.
What is fear?
It is the non-acceptance of uncertainty. When we accept uncertainty, it becomes an adventure.
What is envy?
It is the non-acceptance of the good in another person. When we accept the good, it becomes inspiration.
What is anger?
It is the non-acceptance of what is beyond our control. When we accept it, it becomes tolerance.
What is hatred?
It is the non-acceptance of people as they are. When we accept them unconditionally, it becomes love.
