Feed the Right Wolf

One evening an old Cherokee Indian 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 and compassion.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins? '

The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'
