Learning about my culture

I learned something yesterday. My mom told me to "keep my medicine strong," which is like saying "have a good conscience." And so what I have is good and bad medicine.

With my good medicine, she says when I keep it strong it will be good to me, and my bad medicine, which is like curses, I can use them, but it will return three times harder. Then I thought, is it really worth it? Probably not; it's kind of like karma, but for Native Americans.
