Cherokee wisdom



One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.
.
He said, My son, the battle is between two wolves that dwell inside each and everyone of us.
.
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, compassion and faith.
.
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
