Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said:
"My son, the battle is between two
"wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith."The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"The old Cherokee simply replied:
"The one you feed.
