One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,

self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,

superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,

kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, 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."

I like it!! It's the truth too. But some at FR will only accpet words of wisdom or inspiration if they are from their own religous tradition. Their loss, ignore them

Maybe your name should be Ignoramus J Reilly.

No one has a problem with the contents of this post per se. The problem is that this a lame-ass vanity which shouldn't exist as anyone's first and only contribution to FR.

Have a nice day.

If you start spewing Boethius again, so help me....

Actually, your post made heap big sense. I'd also like to add that if we want newbies to stop posting vanities, then maybe the old-timers ought set better examples of self-discipline. A little more theology and geometry wouldn't hurt either.
