One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goeson inside people. He said,"My son,the battle is between twowolves 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 love, joy,peace, hope, serenity, humility,kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, truth, compassion andfaith."The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked: "Which wolf winsinside us Grandfather?" The old Cherokee simply replied,"The one you feed."
