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, hatred,
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."
