"A fight is going on inside me," said an old man to his son. "It is a
terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is
good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same
fight is going on inside you."
The son thought about it for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf will win?"
The old man replied simply, "The one you feed."

Another note: my opponents and tormentors glory in feeding th evil wolf. They represent the forces of Pure Evil on our tormented planet.
I may live another ten years. Maybe more, but I am so beaten up by life that another two or three is more likely. Death is just one door closing and another opening. She will be welcome.
