Once there was an eagle which hovered over a lake and suddenly swooped down and caught a two-foot long fish in its talons.

Slowly, the bird rose with its ten pound catch, but when it reached about 1,000 feet, it began to descend, until it splashed into the water. Later, both the bird and fish were found dead.

Apparently the fish was too heavy for the eagle, but it could not let go, for its talons were embedded in the flesh of the fish.

The truth is that WHAT WE GRAB, GRABS US. When we grab money, power, alcohol, drugs, or sex, it grabs us and brings us down to death.
