Two Wolves

One evening by the fire an elderly Cherokee grandfather began to tell his grandson about a great struggle in life.

“Son,” he says, “Within all of us there is a battle of two wolves raging. One is evil. He is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

“The other wolf 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 of you, and inside every other person, too,” explained the wise Cherokee elder.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked, “Which wolf will win grandfather?”

The grandfather simply replied, “The one you feed.”
