We thought we would also pass along a great parable forwarded to us recently by veteran LACo Recurrent, John "Matty" Matesich, as follows:

From: John Matesich
Subject: Two wolves ..... as told by the old Cherokee
Date: December 31, 2011

"This is probably the best I've ever heard life explained!"


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."

Thanks Matty! 10-4.
