The Story of 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.”
