Too Serious?

Somedays, some things... sometimes ya gotta put on your thoughtful hat and tone down the clown.

Jaxon sent this to me yesterday and I dedicate it to Ally and the question of race relations

*************

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 wolf is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

"The other wolf is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, acceptance, grace, 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."

Maybe funny tomorrow. Happy Thursday.
