An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life .

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside 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 you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"

The Elder simply replied, "The one you feed."

very insightful and very true

Very well said, and so very true.

My good wolf wants quiche, My bad wolf want a Kielbasa hoagie with sauerkraut, jalapeno mustard, and crushed red pepper. Guess which wolf Mrs V is sleeping with tonight?

If Mrs V is home and watching you....the good wolf.

If she leaves the good wolf alone...the bad wolf will be triumphant! Good thing you don't have a Cilli'* at the end of the driveway!

I think Mrs. V might go wolf hunting for the bad wolf.

Tonight is her late night at the clinic, The bad wolf has ate half a Keilbasa ring, on a hoagie roll. And I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll ah, ya Blow the sheets off the bed. I luv Tuesday nights. It'* my "eat like she'* still in Cincinnati night."
