Cherokee Wisdom







Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about abattle 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, inferiority, 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 replied,
"The one you feed."
