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.” he continued, “the other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The 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.”
