THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
INDIAN WISDOM
An Indian grandfather told his grandson that there is a battle between two wolves that live within you.
“One is evil and has anger, envy, sorrow, regrets, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, superiority, and ego.
The other wolf is good and has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,empathy, generosity, faith, courage, honor and integrity.”
The grandson asked his grandfather, “Which one wins?”
The old Indian simply replied, “The one you feed.”
