Food for Thought | Life in a Small Town

Food for Thought

One of my SILs had the following as her FB status:

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, & ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth." The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."

(I told you it was "food for thought"!)

Our priest just used this in part of his homily a couple of weeks ago. Great story!
