Cherokee Parable of The Two Wolves-

An old Cherokee is telling his grandson about the fight that is going on inside of himself.

The fight is between two wolves.

One wolf is represented by anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.

The other is filled with joy, peace, love, hope, generosity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, truth, compassion, and faith in
humankind.

The grandson asks, "Which wolf wins, grandfather?"

The simple reply was, "The one I feed."



Which wolf do you tend to feed?


That was a rhetorical question btw. ;-)
 
You Rang?

This is a photograph, of a photograph hanging in our bedroom......it is 3' x 5' and is by a well know Michigan Wildlife photographer although I cant recall his name.....the print sells for like 250......I have another one I will use as an av at sometime of another wolf, and that photo is even larger, and hanging over our couch in the living room.

It is rhetorical yes but the answer also defines alot about the way you live your day to day life. I choose to feed the 2nd one because it is a much more harmonious tranquil life. Although sometimes I get sand tossed in my face I try to give everyone and everything a chance sometimes 2 or 3 simply because that is me. But once I have declared myself done with you,I have spoken and there in no going back nor other chances. :nana:
 
What the....? You're supposed to be all fluffy and flirty...not make me think. *grumbles*



Nice story though. :D

I've been less flirty lately, haven't you noticed? :)



Good post Tranquility. For myself I try and live the life of the second wolf.. it takes more time and effort to be the first wolf.





thanks guys. :)

Personally, I think the first one is the easiest "lazy" one. The second one is the one to strive for. JMHO


welcome. :)
 
That's another way to look at it as well grimreefer. :)




Pst Raina to hi-jack my own thread cause my mgr's aren't working and I'm too lazy to pm. :D

Remember what I said I hoped that I wouldn't do today, so that I could do as we discussed? Well *blush* I did.. all day. lol Next weekend however I plan on it as should you. ;-)

Okay no problem lazy ass.

Did you get some sleep, or did the phone wake you up again?
 
I try to be the second wolf but I am not always (able to. Edited in)
rarely do I follow the path of the first wolf

:eek:


I feel wonderful actually, so rested finally.

My mother rang me at one point and she asked if I wanted to go shopping, I said uhh no thank you. Personally I'd rather have needles poking me all over to do that. *shudder* lol

Phone rang later on - not saying the time lmao- and it was my MasterChief who snagged his cellie while his brother was out and couldn't fuss at him for using the phone. :D

He has severe dysentry, which is why he was returned home, and a middle ear infection. Ick he sounded horrible.. but at least he's home.. safe and sound, for now.
 
I'm glad you got some rest finally! :D

Ugh. Shopping makes me feel that way most of the time. I'm not much of a shopper.

Here's hoping that you MC gets better soon. I bet he's feeling miserable!
 
lol I should clarify I suppose.. I called him "mine" so that you'd know who I was talkin about. :D


I'll spare you the details of our hour long convo riddled with 'scuse me *gag gag gag*.


We are just hoping that they won't be sending him back out of his own state for a very long time.. tho realistically that is doubtful.


btw did you eat a crab rangoon and egg roll for me the other night? :D
 
LOL. I knew why you said mine. Don't worry, it didn't make me jealous. ;)


Yes. I ate so much crab rangoon that I thought I might explode. They started making it much better at the place we went to than they used to. Mmmmm.

Gaahhh! Don't wipe the hard drive. Geesh. You're like my mother. That's her solution to everything. Then when I go visit her I have to restore the damn thing.

Have you defragmented it lately?
 
We all have a certain amount of the first one Lost Cause.. but I like how your percentage numbers are higher for the second wolf. :)








lmao Raina I've wiped my h/d so many times it's old hat to me now.. I had a computer expert walk me through it the first time. :D

It's just easier than trying to figure out wtf is wrong.

Oh and yes I have defragged lately.. I *think* it was last week.

I'll just think of it as job security. Without people like you, I'd be unemployed. :D :p
