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, guilt, 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 wolve wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied:
“The one you feed.”
