A Battle Inside Us


Just want to share this very nice article which I read over the net... something to reflect 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.”

Jen,
This is an interesting story that I enjoy reading now.
From time to time, there are two wolf inside our heart.
The one we feed is the winner. Ha ha, If we feed the wrong one, then our life will be miserable.
Similiarly if we feed the right one, wow, our life will be totally changed.
This is a wonderful journey, hopefully, all people in this world can feed the right one, then world peace is the outcome and the earth will be a heaven for all of us.
Thanks for sharing, this is a nutrient indeed.
Have a wonderful life.
Best wishes from coolingstar9.
