Two Wolves
One evening an elder Indian Chief 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 elder chief simply replied, 'The one you feed.'
