There is a point.

My friend and mentor Larry Bowie and I were talking today about all kinds of things. One of the things we touched on was the fact that Charles Manson changed the way mainstream America thought and felt about Hippies.
After the murders perpetrated by the Manson family, mainstream America was no longer as tolerant of the Woodstock Generation. Thinking that instead of a free love society, it was about mayhem.
In reality it was about change for the better and love for all.
But I digress.
The question came up that at what point does a well meaning charismatic person like Charles Manson, Jim Jones, or David Coresche, deviate from their well meaning beginnings. At what point does it become about "Me," instead of the good of humanity it started as? Where is the line?

It was then he told me about a Native American fable his mentor had told him.
In this story several children are asking a Shaman, "How do we know which is the right path? How do we know what to do?"
The Shaman tells them, "In all of us there are two wolves, one good, one evil, fighting for control of us."

The children anxiously asked, "Which one will win?"
To which the Shaman replied, "The one you feed."

Thanks Larry. Your therapy sessions are always the best.
