An elder 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", he added.
The Grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child
asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied… "The one you feed."
