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  replied, "The one you feed."
