An old Cherokee man is teaching
his grandson about life.
‘A fight is going on inside me,’
he said to the boy. ‘It is a terrible
fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil – he is anger, envy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego. The other is
good – he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion, and faith. This
same fight is going on inside you –
and inside every other person,
too.’
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.’
