Something to Ponder

December 19, 2009 by Bonni

I got this in an email, from Jay, our tax preparer…he sends the BEST emails!  Thank you, Jay…There is a great message here for all of us!

TWO WOLVES

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, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greet, 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 the grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
