An
elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside
me…it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion, and faith.
This
same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”
They
thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which
wolf will win, grandfather?”
The
old Cherokee replied…”The one you feed.”
