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."
