A Native American Cherokee Story – Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes
on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
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, compassion and faith.”
The grandson
thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf
wins?”
The old Cherokee
simply replied, “The one you fed".
