I'm not on Facebook, so I don't share most of the cute little things I come across. But I'm so angry and pessimistic about the future these days that I need something to give me hope.
So I'm stealing this directly from Andrew Tobias' blog, Money and Other Subjects.
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?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”It's a cliché, but clichés are clichés for a reason, maybe.
On second thought, forget it. It's crap.
