"It is my opinion. Am I not entitled to it?"-Anonymous
We have to be careful of our opinions. They could be wrongly derived, nurtured, and kept for unnecessary reasons.
In the book Happy for No Reason author Marci Shimoff tells a story of a Cherokee elder talking to his grandson.
Grandfather begins by telling the child that inside all people there is a battle. The battle is between two wolves.
One of the wolves if known as Unhappiness. This wolf is full of fear, worry, anger, jealousy, sorrow. It posses self-pity, resentment, and inferiority.
Second of the wolves if known as Happiness. It is full of love, joy, hope. It nurtures serenity, kindness, generosity, truth, and compassion.
The elder continued, "These wolves battle inside people every day."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then turned to the grandfather, "which wolf wins grandpa?'
The grandfather smiled and replied, "The one you feed."
Today's question is:
"Which wolf are you feeding?"
