Cherokee Parable
Two Wolves
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."
