The Old Cherokee

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."
"One is evil-- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego."
"The other is good-- he is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
"This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too"
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather which wolf would win.
The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one you feed."
So which one are you feeding?
Hopefully not BOTH!
You must starve one and feed the other.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24
Luke 16:13
I love you all,
Tonto
