I recently came across this little story about an old Cherokee who is teaching his grandson about life:

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

Life under capitalism feeds the first wolf, whereas under socialism the second. Unfortunately we live under capitalism and all its hideous influences while wanting to live in a better world. It seems to me that the challenge for all those who want to change the system is to filter out all the negative influences and lies of capitalism, and to seek the truth wherever we can find it while learning to trust and love one another enough to be able to move together to change the system.
