An old Cherokee Indian was speaking to his grandson: “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 long minute, and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
