So true nanuschka! I also believe, in many ways, you are what you feed your physical body as well. A lot of what makes us what we are is what we eat and what we think.
It is not, nor aims to be a complete list I suppose. Strength and will missing from right-hand column. ALso, this is a dualistic point of view. We need all these virtues and vices to become one.
I’m sure the list of actual good and evil qualities can be extended. With regard to ‘dualistic point of view’, interesting point. How would you make all virtues and vices to become one though?
I think balance is something that you have to strive for, as well as constantly work on. There are times when you may fall on the more negative side of things or the more positive. But attempting to find the center, the acceptance of both the negative & positive aspects of the self, takes constant re-adjustment.
Peace, xx
A memorable analogy from way back when, timeless and so true from any perspective. “The one you feed, or The one you feed most”, what a platform for understanding and the potential elimination of warring at all levels. JJ
Otraz, this quote was recently made aware to me via a new television show. It is so so appropriate for our time. Hopefully we all choose the right wolf. I know it takes an effort, and with each opportunity I grow. Much success to you, take care, Bill
I love this dichotomy. I don’t believe that any one person is all ‘good’ or all ‘bad’, but rather a blend of both, and, as the image suggests, whichever one we feed will ultimately dominate.

What is ‘one’is separate from anything on this list. By contradiction and conscience we arrive at it.

My half Cherokee great-grandmother used to tell this story to my Dad and uncles. I love the message. Thanks for posting the cool visual!
You are right – this image is based on an old Cherokee story. Real wisdom knows neither time nor geographical and cultural barriers. 🙂
