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."
