An Old Cherokee Story:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside
people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between 2 “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, &
ego.”
“The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, faith,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, & compassion.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute & then asked, “Grandfather, which wolf
wins?”
The old Cherokee simply smiled, looked lovingly at his grandson and responded, “The
one you feed.”
