Fight Over Life

Tweet

Here is a story all people can apply to and parents may want to read this and keep it in mind when raising their children: An elder Native American Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf stands for fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth and compassion. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too." They thought about this for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The elder Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."
