Two Wolves
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, fear, 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, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, 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."
now I don't know why this popped up as being just posted it is dated Sept.29. But I just love that story and it is so true.
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting. I liked it. I also noticed it's still Sunday at my house & it says Monday on the post. Weird.
ReplyDeleteSame here -- it just popped up this morning. Odd! At any rate, how true, so so true!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I'm going to send it on to my family.
