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. The other is
good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This 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
replied simply, "The one you feed."
