One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. "My son, the battle is between two wolves," the old Cherokee said. "One is Evil. It is anger, envy, 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, benevolance, 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."

That is profound, and definitely something to think about. I like that, very much.

I agree COMPLETELY. Folks need to realize that most of the demons in their lives / "wolves" at their doors are of their own creation, and they flourish through their own support. Starve those furry buggers and they'll be defeated.
