Two Wolves

[jason]

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."

That's an excellent little story, worth repeating. Now printed out & pinned above my desk. Thanks.

I also printed that excellent story. I intend to read it to our church's middle school group. They're minds are still so open, I'd like that story to sink into them. (Me, too)
