Two
Wolves
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.
"A fight is going
on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is
between two wolves.
One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace,
love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you -
and
inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
