Two wolves

This is a perspective piece that was referred to at a meeting tonight - I like it enough to share it.

Two Wolves - One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going on within himself.

He said, "My son, it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego..."

"The other wolf is good: 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 replied, "The one I feed."
