Cherokee Wisdom
What a great story to pass on and a lesson to be learned by all.
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."
