Two Wolves (Story):

​

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 fed with anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

​

"The other is Good -  It is fed with 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."
