ADDICTION: SOCIAL COMMUNITY
Proverb for Every One

Proverb for Every One

Thought this really may apply to many members:

"One evening an old Cherokee Indian 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.’

That is Great Ioved it. Although sometimes it seems easy to feed the bad one i have come to learn that things that are easy are no good its the struggle and the hard work you put into the good one that makes everything worth fighting for.
