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, 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."

mk - i have spent the last two nights at the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, CA. i got in touch with my deep side alright!

ash - you told me it was ok to be "mr. random". i post what ever i am thinking or wahtever moves me. sometimes self reflection is a good thing towards making improvements. messenger... i know, sorry.

@@ - thank you. i agree. why we always try to overthink some things is crazy!

mw - maybe i will try to come up on sat just to visit - maybe dirt bike and say hi. you can really ride up there? is it cooler than 112? i really want to ride in a big way. i can't camp - just too busy right now and going on vacation to iowa in a week and a half. (i am going to work while in iowa too - i can't sit around watching corn grow for 10 days!)

I think this is really two packs of wolves, Wolfgangs if you will, and Evil outnumbers Good 15 to 13.

mgc said...

rw - 15 to 13? that's odd.

RW-(the original) said...

Hey you posted them, I just counted.

mgc said...

rw - i am lost! i know you are smarter and wiser than me, so please explain my lack of perception.

RW-(the original) said...

Yea yea yea......smarter wiser..yadda yadda....

Gang 1 is named "Evil" and it's wolfen members are "anger" "envy" "jealosy" etc. There are 15 of those guys, while gang 2 "Good" has only 13 wolves.

Although I have to admit I thought this was an expanded list of Snow White's buds at first.
