Feeding the Wolf

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.
