Two Wolves
A Cherokee Legend (with a twist)
One evening an old Choctaw told his granddaughter about a battle that goes on inside people.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is
cowardly, angry, envious, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The granddaughter thought about it for a minute and then asked her grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
