A great story to pass on and a lesson to be learned by all.

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee tells his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He says, "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 thinks about it for a moment and then asks his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replies, "The one you feed."
