Cherokee Wisdom

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,

inferiority, lies, false pride, 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."
