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 God - 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."
