Two Wolves: A Cherokee Teaching

[TEO Lone_Wolf]

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life.

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside of me, it is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil - he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside of you, and inside every other person, too."

The grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child asked,

"Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one you feed"

I feed them both! Evil wolf gets mondays, wednesdays and saturdays.

[Snorter]

My good wolf comes to stay the weekend, on supervised visits.

[Kakafika]

Great.

Can we get a mod to lock this, please?

That's fine until it bites you.

I can not let the evil one out Monday morn through Thursday daylight. THe neutral side of me gets embattled at other times.

Another example of a Path of Two Lives.

The Grandfather looks into the camera, whips off his sunglasses, and says: "The one you feed"

Damn wolves know to stick to their side of town.

I am pretty sure the Hippie wolf loses the fight. He would be too busy trying to hug the angry wolf.
