Words to live by

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.
A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy. It
is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is
evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.

The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside
you - and inside every other person, too.

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 that is! That Cherokee was a very wise man.

A great truth! Thanks for sharing that.

Doug :o)

And, perhaps the metaphor could be extended further by knowing that a wolf in the wild will never kill another wolf. In a fight, one wolf will always bear its throat to the other - and wolves are honorable enough not to kill an opponent that has surrendered. Such is the difficulty Jekyll faced, I suppose.

Chodo... Baggins!
