    If we were all a little more like the Buffalo I think the world could be a better place. The average Joe tends to stress about work, women or even sissy stuff like their appearance; but not the Buffalo. The Buffalo only worries about what it is going to eat for breakfast, or where it is going to lie down for its’ next few hours.

    The Buffalo stands strong when its' enemies face them. They stand tall when many others would fall. They stick together when many others would flee. Their hide is known to be stronger than any other leather. A buffalo is commonly (or calmly) collected and self controlled.

    The Buffalo were so wise and inspiring to many of our native tribes, they were looked upon as “gods” or “sacred”.

    Today, although enduring a severe population drop; Buffalo still manage to hold their ‘wait, "moseying through the valleys of Montana, the hills of South Dakota and now, prospering in the Plains of Wyoming. In conclusion, I think they just might be a little more happy with life than that “average” Joe of whom I spoke earlier.

    As Chief Sitting Bull himself once stated: “Live where you are standing, such as a Buffalo does, everyday from birth to death.”
