I'll argue that 'til I'm black and blue. Yes I will.

(It would seem that those of us (myself included) who admire this grand creature are subject to standing up for ourselves; right or wrong. We do not approve of others insisting that they ‘prove their point’. Whether or not they are correct, is of no consequence. It is fairness and justice that we wish for. No amount of arguing will coerce us into believing much of what they say. Unfortunately, they have ‘dug their own graves’ so to speak by endeavouring to argue. This is folly to individuals such as me. We do not appreciate attitudes and understandings being shoved down our throats. We would much prefer a calm resolve to include as much detail as is necessary and then leave it up to us to make a judgement.

Therefore, there is little that one can do to change a Panther lover’s heart or mind. State your case and vamoose if you do not want the wrath of the Panther personality reducing you to a wimp like imbecile. That’s right. Get out before the Panther personality rips you to shreds. We have powerful bodies and they cater to a powerful mind. No nonsense; thank you very much…… You heard me; vamoose!

Well my friends, it would seem that we have a predilection for justice, and with a strong moral code. Being one of those who admire this creature, I am pleased to know this. I was a little afraid, at the start, that I was feeling the energies of a bully. Phew; thanks guys; I’ve enjoyed this one too.)

In all kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal) parasites symbolize the ‘living off another’s life force’.

This is against universal law.

An indication that one must view his/her thoughts, which are parasitical in nature, and therefore not acceptable to the overall good.

(General)

I am here because you put me here. Your thoughts, your actions, placed me here. Jealousy, anger and pain contribute to the over-whelming energies which control so many of you; eating away at your love. I represent destructive energies which encompass your world. Don’t hate me; understand that I am you. What you see me do, is what you do.

It’s hard to accept; we know it’s true.

If we all work together we’ll get through.

Boy oh boy. Excitable you say! There’s so much to do.

Wee Willy Winkie runs through the town. Upstairs and downstairs in his dressing gown. Are you mad at me? Please don’t be. I don’t like it if you’re mad at me.

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go. Hi-ho the dairy'o; a hunting we will go.

Much has been said over the years about bears; their strength; their ferocity; their cunning; their ability to stand still in the face of danger.

It's all true. We are strong, we are brave, we have the ability to defend ourselves, and those we love.

Oh yes; you would do well to look at me; my strengths; my abilities.

(Proud; oh yes, we are proud Proud of our achievements; proud of our understanding; proud of our togetherness. Does this surprise? Yes? Well be that as it may, it is true. Pride is not a dirty word, you know. To be proud means to admire. Yes, it does. To admire; means to be aware that one has the ability to project oneself into one’s environment with gusto. Yes, it does. To project oneself into one’s environment with force and positivity; is this not a force for good? Indeed, it is. We have much to say and much to do; we Polar Bear types. Do we shrink from a cause? Indeed not. Do we battle for the highest good? Indeed we do. Why? I’ll tell you why. Because this is the right thing to do. Easy. For no other reason than it is the right thing to do; and we Polar Bear types like to do the right thing; for no other reason than it is ‘the right thing to do'. Simple.

Yes, my friends; Polar Bear types are ever out to accomplish. Not just any accomplishment; oh no, not for the Polar Bear type. He/she wants to achieve monumental things. And what are monumental things? That’s easy. Monumental things are the quality which abounds in this personality. They are things like inner strength of conviction. Eternal adherence to that which is good and right. Making sacrifices. Yes, that’s right. The Polar Bear type will lay down his all for that which is ‘better’.)

Hip-hip hooray, it’s a sailor’s life for me. A shantytown; a ball of crowns; it’s a sailor’s life for me. I want to baffle you, and I HAVE !

Don't talk nonsense. You do;  you know.

Go away! Please go away.

I don't want to make a nuisance of myself; so please go away!

And the lights all went down in Massachusetts. They bring me back to …..

(A vision) One raccoon; one five-piece band;

one microphone; one raccoon swooning into the mike.

 A would be star; a performer; a hopeless romantic!

Once upon a time, long, long ago, in the land of dreams,

there happened to be a need for something interesting to come his way.

It did, many times, but he was so busy that he didn't notice it, and it went away!

(So what is the moral to this story? Look around you, visit the unknown, pamper yourself with dreams and their future.

What. What do you say? Yes, I agree with you it’s hard to see the future however, if you don’t dream what good’s a future? If you don’t take that jump into life; what good’s a future? If you don’t crave for something better; what good’s a future?

Yes, we cannot know what the future has in store for us. No; this is certainly true. Does this mean that we just sit about doing nothing; thinking nothing; being without a dream?

Yes? Do you really feel that way? Then I am sorry for you my friend. I am sorry because to be without a dream is to be in a very forlorn state; is it not? Is it not a sense of destitution when we are without a dream? Yes; indeed this is true. Without our own private dream we are like ships wandering aimlessly on a sea of aloneness.

Yes, my friend. Do you want to be alone? Yes. Well this is what you shall have.

A dream; that is all it takes to be a part of the whole.

“The whole?”  I hear you say. Yes, that’s right; the whole. And what is the whole? It is that which you join when you have a dream. It is your birthright to be a part of the whole of mankind. Not alone. Not without a dream.

No, we do not wish this for you my friend. We want to see you as one with the whole; enjoying your dream; your independent dream; a dream that, if you will allow, will take the rest of your life to fulfill. That’s right.

And now; do you have a dream, my friend? Yes. That is very good. Do you have a dream, my friend? No.

Well my dear friends; it would seem that the Red Panda represents mankind’s individual need to have a dream; a purpose; a goal towards which we can work. Without a dream; a purpose; a goal, we are like shifting sand; never quite stable; never quite secure; never quite feeling the strength that we can feel should we have a dream; a purpose; a goal toward which to work.)

I don’t want to hurt anyone; really that’s not my way. I haven’t a mean bone in my body; as they say.

But you wouldn’t want to mess with me (when the chips are down) because I shall defend myself; and I’ll wear the crown.

(Left on my own I am a delightful being; it is only when I am ‘near’ others; in ‘sight’ of others; in the ‘company' of others; in-between; around; amidst; you get my drift; that ‘you’ need to watch your p’s and q’s. Indeed.

This is not to say that I am mean; oh no, that isn’t me. I am not mean; I am just ornery; that I am. Mean and ornery are definitely two different energies; wouldn’t you say?

Mean is an angry (not to be liked) energy. That it is. Ornery is a beast of a different stature; indeed this is so.

And this ‘ornery’ applies to me; indeed it does. And what is ‘ornery’? It is a mixture of energy; a mixture of many energies, indeed. Let me just look it up in the Oxford dictionary…!  

Ornery: bad tempered or difficult to deal with. That’s what it said; bad tempered or difficult to deal with.

Well, perhaps this is true. Hmmmmm, bad tempered…..! Hmmmmm. Yes, I’d say that this is true….. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmm. Bad tempered….. Oh dear; do you know, I believe that this isssss true. Oh dear; I have never thought of it in this way. Bad tempered…..? Well, you know, I do ‘let off steam’ very often; but then it’s always somebody else’s fault. That’s right. It’s always somebody else who makes me ‘have’ to ‘let off steam’. If it wasn’t for them then life would be pretty darn good; I’d say. That’s right; it is always somebody else’s fault. I wouldn’t have to ‘let off steam’ but for the actions of others; isn’t this true…..!

Oh good; now I feel much better. I was beginning to think….. no, it couldn’t be me…..!

…..And the other? What was the other term that the Oxford (oh yes, it has to be the Oxford….!; is there any other?) Where was I? Oh yes, the ‘other’ term…….. ‘Difficult to deal with’. Yes, that’s right; it said ‘difficult to deal with’. Right. Let me think this one through.

The Oxford (and therefore this is correct); the Oxford said that ornery meant ‘difficult to deal with’. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmm.

I am ‘something’ of importance. That’s it. I am ‘something of importance’ that needs to be dealt with…..

Well, I haven’t really ever thought of myself as ‘important’; but if that is what the Oxford dictionary says then I guess it must be true.

Yes my friends; the Rhino type can twist and meander their way through life never quite seeing the reality of themselves and how they ‘react’ to others. Indeed they have ‘blinkers’ on most of the time. They will convert almost any situation to their advantage and; sorry to say; never quite see themselves as they really are. A great shame; because along with many of their virtues is the ability to see others in a more genuine fashion. Seems a contradiction. Yes, generally we see others as ‘mirrors’ but not this individual. For the most part the Rhino personality points one finger at you quite clearly however, those pointing back at him remain clouded with his false opinion of himself.)
