If the failures of the governments during this plague year do not disillusion you, certainly, at least, you will admit that the self-appointed leaders are of no more a higher moral or intellectual makeup than the rest of us. This was actually the original idea of the American Revolution.
Wolves
I know this is a repeat. I just like it.
An elderly Cherokee chief was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside 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, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
