Native American Proverb

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life...

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me,

it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil-he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret,

greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,

lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good-he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing,

serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,

empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you,

and inside every other person, too.

" They thought about it for a minute and then one child

asked his grandfather,

"Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one you feed."
