I usually REALLY hate this shit, but this seemed pretty non-offensive. It showed up in my inbox this morning from someone that I really respect, and I felt like posting it here.
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."
