Feeding The Wolf

I would like to thank Wulfgar for this one. I enjoyed it tremendously.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://wulfgar.typepad.com/a_chicken_is_not_pillage/2006/09/the_wolf_you_fe.html" >The Wolves Inside You</a><br />n<br />n An elder Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He<br />n said to them, "A fight is going on inside me.. it is a terrible fight and it is<br />n between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret,<br />n greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false<br />n pride, superiority, and ego.<br />n<br />n The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,<br />n humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth,<br />n compassion, and faith."<br />n<br />n "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other<br />n person, too", he added.<br />n<br />n The Grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child<br />n asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"<br />n<br />n The old Cherokee simply replied… "The one you feed."<br />n<br />nI've always known this but never been able to put it so succinctly. It sure explains why people act the way they do.<br />
