    Default Two wolves

    My Dad sent this as an email to me the other day and I thought it was a nice analogy...

    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, 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."
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
