Two Wolves

A Cherokee Elder, was teaching his grandchildren about life.

He said to them,  ‘ A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf representsfear,anger,hatred,envy,sorrow,regret,greed,arrogance,self-pity,guilt,resentment,inferiority,lies,false pride,superiorityandego.

The other stands forjoy,peace,love,hope,sharing,serenity,humility,kindness,benevolence,friendship,empathy,generosity,truth,compassionandfaith.

This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too.’

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked, ‘ Which wolf will win, Grandfather?’

The Cherokee Elder simply replied, ‘ The one you feed.’”
