Two Wolves

One evening and 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, 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 will win"?

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

How true. A very wise indian. Now if we could all follow this philosophy it would be a greater world.

How true it is, thank you angelwingz7

Isn't that the truth!! Thanks for sharing Angelwingz

This has always been one of my favorite pieces, always so very true.

A very wise Indian, indeed!! When you feed your anger, you usually feed anger in others as well ... a very nasty spiral goes into effect.

Very wise, indeed! Thank you for that. I have to try to remember to feed my good wolf!

LOLOL Has anyone ever noticed that when you click on the angel, it's spelled angle?

I thought if enough fish read this, the waters in here would stay a little calmer. We so easily loose sight of the purpose for the forum. Sometimes we just need a little nudge to bring us back into balance.

i was wondering what food had to do with this but now i get it lol,


doh!

Hi Pucktweety, I guess you can consider this food for thought, lol

angelwingz7, you're right!! That's exactly what it is.

That was awesome!!!

Very nice philosophy!

I knew there would be those of you who would appreciate this. I hope more see it as it's getting buried going, deeper into the water. Maybe this came to me as a sign as I am part Cherokee.
