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,
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."
