TWO WOLVES

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside 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, inferiorty, lies, falsepride, superiority. And ego.

The other is Good. "It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, 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."

Which do you feed most the time.?
