The Wolf You Feed

I found this at Susan Russell's site, An Inch at a Time.

An old story, as retold by Jim Gustafson: 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, "Which wolf wins?"
.
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Love and Prayers,
