"Wisdom"
An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his
grandchildren about life.
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a
terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is
evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.
The other is good ---he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every
other person, too."
They thought about it for a minute and then one child
asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
