He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me. One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him, and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.
But the other wlf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hater are so great. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing.
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

Maybe Johnny Mercer had it right when he wrote:
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister-in-between.
Hope you have and make it an awesome day and don't mess with the in-between... s
