One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on
inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. ... One
is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority,
and ego. ... The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, truth,
serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, benevolence, generosity, compassion
and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I've always liked this. And it is so true.

Thank you, Tweety, for sharing that.

I cut my teeth on that old saying.
