Today is Thursday, December 1st, 2005; Karen's Korner #684

 
This is an email that I received several months ago from long-time friend Alice Hiles, and I received another copy from Jim's cousin, Anleas Greene, a week or so ago. It confirmed for me that it was a good one and time to share:
 
A TALE OF TWO WOLVES
 
One evening an old Cherokee 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!"

(Occasionally a Karen's Korner is sent, but not everyone receives it that day. Who knows why? Yesterday was one of those days! If that happens, you can email me and ask for the day's current edition. Or you can check the web site www.karens-korner.com and that day's edition will be on the front page.)
