The Battle

I'm not sure where this originates from; it was emailed to me earlier today.

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.

"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 feed."
