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 replied, "The one you feed."
