Description
Featuring:Quote:
"An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My Son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.”
The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”

It is not our looks, age, heritage or abilities that show who we truly are. It's the choices we make. Choices are what determine if we are good or evil. And this is a very beautiful way to poetically tell this.

This actually isn't a Cherokee saying, not even Native American but is, instead a derivative from a sermon and parable the Minister and Evangelist Billy Graham made and used in 1978 and has sadly passed through all modern social platforms as "fact". apihtawikosisan.com/2012/02/ch… But, I must say, this is the best artwork and you did a phenomenal job with the art! Thank you!

The quote is good analogy, but I have to say I think everyone feeds both wolves. Good people are susceptible anger, jealousy, resentment, etc. whereas evil people - or people we would consider evil - can have good qualities too. I think it's more a matter of which wolf is fed the most and has a person's loyalty when all is said and done.
I mean, I consider myself a fairly good person, but I can't say I don't have an ego, or that I've never lied or been greedy or jealous. I'm only human, y'know?

Oh my god! This is my favorite story ever. I've told this to so many people because it's just that amazing. Within it hides the depths of humanity, and it is the simplest way to describe that to someone.
Great job placing this in a graphic context. It's gorgeous! <3
