The old Cherokee

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves.

"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is God. 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."

Hmm is it that simple...I think there's another devouring wolf in between...The Wolf of doubt, insecurity, skepticism, restlessness, mistrust, disbelief, insincerity that is sitting between those two wolves - blocking the way from the evil to the God one...
You consent?...

Be good! Tc.
