The One You Feed

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all 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, generosity, 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. »
