Ask yourself if you’d be interrupting a man while he’s saying the very same thing. Sorry, this isn’t a quote. And it’s more advice than inspiration. This was inspired by something said on today's PBS Newshour’s Brief but Spectacular segment which wasn’t up yet when I checked for links. ;–) Good advice. 2 1

Snowblind Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 A grandfather was talking to his grandson. He said: "All people live are two wolves fighting. One is evil. It is anger, fear, envy, jealousy, sadness, arrogance, self-pity, lies, superiority and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, benevolence, empathy, truth and trust. " "Which wolf wins?" asked the child. "The one you feed," replied the grandfather. 1 3
