This has always been a great saying....It's been up on Citi-Data in a few places a few times now.

I would not be so quick to simply call things like anger "evil". Anger can be a great motivator, as can many emotions, if channeled and used correctly. Anger is part of the human condition, we can not deny it or suppress it or ignore it. We can however use it, harness it and channel it in good ways.

No emotion is inherently "good" or "evil". What you use those emotions for, or what they motivate you to do however is a different story.

Okay...this is a better saying.

YouTube - Two Wolves 3

This is my people's legends and stories and it has not changed for centuries.

In the original post of this thread, each wolf was described as being the emotions stated, whereas in the video, each wolf was described as being full of the emotions stated. That's quite a difference. It's the difference between certain emotions being consistently innately wrong...or not.

Clintone, you notice the differences too, that's why I posted the one that I did, it contains the original message. The first one is good but really does not get to the heart of the matter, where as the one that I posted gets directly to the heart of the subject in a much more simplistic way.
