*Two Wolves*


An old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside each of us.

The battle is between two "wolves".

One wolf is Evil. It has anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other wolf is Good. It has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought at this for a moment, and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
