Help! Did you post a Cherokee proverb about wolves here a while ago?

[Radio_Lady]

I wanted to save it, but didn't get to it that day.

I can't find it in SEARCH mode and don't recall the author. If you remember, please send me the link.

Thanks so much.

In peace,

1. Was this the proverb?

"An elderly Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life... He said to them, 'A fight is going on inside of me.' It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good--- he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
hunility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion, patience and faith.

The same fight is going on inside every other person.

His grandchildren thought about this for a minute, then one child asked,
'which wolf will win, Grandfather?'

The old Cherokee replied softly, 'The one you feed."


I didn't post it but remember reading it - just googled "cherokee proverb wolves" and found this..
