CHEROKEE WISDOM
An old Cherokee was 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,
ego and intolerance."
"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, understanding
and tolerance."
"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 simply replied, "The one you feed."
