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."
