Two Wolves
----- 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."
