Wisdom
An old Cherokee was 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'.
'The 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.'
