DRAGONS

We read stories about brave knights slaying dragons to protect a village or protect a kingdom winning the hand of the kings daughter. In these stories the dragon is evil, something feared and must be destroyed. I read in literature of asian cultures and find the dragon is a symbol of strength, honor and beauty. So which is it? I believe we all have dragons of our own at various points in our lives. Some are habits and consequences of choices. These dragons we must slay if we are to have joy or peace in our lives. We also have dragons that are the result of rising to a challenge or discovering an unknown talent. They are strength, beauty and symbols of our reliability and honor. Our task in life is to reduce the unwanted and undesirable dragons while increasing the desired ones.
