I was in a meeting this morning to discuss our international community in Greenville. What an exciting place we live. Surrounding us are multiple cultures. Japanese, Phillipine, Polish, African, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swedish, Korean, Hindu, French, German, etc. They all make their home here. They are our neighbors. These groups come together to create quite a salad bowl. A diverse, inclusive community where everyone is able to keep their cultures distinct. How cool, eh?
So, a wonderful person at this meeting read a story that I thought was truly insightful. So, I am going to leave it here for everyone to enjoy.
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 2 ' 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 an then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
