One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on
inside all 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.”
