And finally, this one's not a joke but a very thoughtful piece of philosophy. I include it not only because it makes so much sense, but as a way of saying Thanks to the Cherokee.
_______________

An old Cherokee was telling his grandson about a fight that was going on inside himself. He said the fight was between two wolves.

One was evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other was good: 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 man replied simply, "The one I feed."
