An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. "A fight
is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight
and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, self-doubt, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you - and inside
every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and
then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief
simply replied, "The one you feed."
