Pretty good one and worth thinking about…
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 his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Doesn’t get much simpler than that…
Back off the road finally, looking forward to actually sleeping in my OWN bed 🙂
Night all….zzzzzz
Safe travels, sir. I wish you fair winds and following seas.
Nope. Doesn’t get much simpler (in concept). Glad you’re home and in your own bed finally!
I have a pretty fat anger wolf, I think. 🙂
Thanks. Needed to hear that, again!
I have that printed and laminated, stuck to my dresser mirror. I read it EVERY DAY. Thanks for posting it.
Them old injuns (politically incorrect, I know, but used for effect) were pretty wise.
Sleep well.
Yup. There’s a whole lot of hard-won wisdom distilled in that.
I hope you’re back home with the family for a while.
Welcome home NFO.
Welcome home sir.
All comes down to choices, doesn’t it?
There is no such thing as a tame predator – only a well fed one.
Home sweet home…nice.
Personal choice has been on my mind a lot this past year and constantly these pest few weeks.
Love this.
Rev- Thanks
MC- Meeee toooo! 🙂
45er- Don’t we all?
Guffaw- You’re welcome

Welcome back, Old NFO. Hopefully you’ll get to stay for awhile.
Andy- about two weeks… sigh
Welcome home. That reminds me, I have to give the anger wolf his bi-weekly side of beef.
Wise words indeed. I’m glad you’re home safe. We missed you at the blog meet.
Get some rest.
DB- Yep 🙂
Brigid- Thanks, and sorry I couldn’t make it…
Glad your home safe!
May the “Good Wolf” always win all battles.
