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."
