Myths and Legends : Cows and Bulls

But the Brown Bull of Cualgne went with the army into Connaught, and there he met Ailill's bull, the White-horned. And he fought the White-horned, and tore him limb from limb, and carried off pieces of him on his horns, dropping the loins at Athlone and the liver at Trim. Then he went back to Cualgne, and turned mad, killing all who crossed his path, until his heart burst with bellowing, and he fell dead.

This was the end of the great war called Táin Bó Chuailgné, the "Driving of the Cattle of Cooley".

from :Celtic Myth and Legend  by Charles Squire  [1905]

The Wisdom - what you give out you will receive back -

It is so obvious, and yet we have to be reminded constantly! If we dish out a horrible death on others we will experience an even worse death ourselves.  An extreme example in this story maybe.  Yet the wisdom applies to our everyday little happenings.  If we live in the world creating chaos, disruption, anger we cannot pretend it does not hurt us as well.  And we will bring this state not only on ourselves but to the entire human race.  So get making your experiences and life full of love and joy today!  and that will exponentially create a beautiful place for us all.
