The Tale of Two Wolves
May you always overcome evil with Good in your thoughts. Never lose faith; God’s way will prevail.
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, doubt, 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,
forgiveness, 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.”
This old legend, of unknown origin, aligns with my thinking very much.
It brings me to this idea of ‘Choice.’
Some examples coming to mind at the moment are:
