One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside all people. He said, " My son, the battle is between two wolves who live inside us all.
One is named Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is named Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about this for a moment and then asked his grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one you feed."
Beautiful and oh, so true. Thank you.
