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.”
