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.'
