My mother-in-law emailed this to me and I thought it was worth sharing.
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
Wow how true is that. Indians always have such a simple way to get a point across. I'm going to share this one with others.
