You have reminded me of this story that I love, catfan:
Two Wolves
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, Grandfather?"
The Elder simply replied, "The one you feed."
Amy I had forgotten that little story but it is SO appropriate. It goes in line with my philosophy in life now and basically what Jesus taught us, just show love. I've been working on myself since early summer on that philosophy and feel like I finally have it down pat and it feels great too!
Now remember sometimes that evil wolf gets the better of us sometimes, he'll grab a table scrap or two but that is only short lived as long as you continue to care for and feed the good wolf.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
