The Story of the Two Wolves
An old Cherokee Indian chief was teaching his grandson about life.
He said, "A fight is going on inside me," he told the young boy,
"a fight between two wolves. The Dark one is evil - he is anger,
envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
He continued, "The Light Wolf is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity
truth, compassion, and faith."
"The same fight is going on inside you, grandson. . .
and inside of every other person on the face of this earth.”
The grandson pondered this for a moment and then asked,
"Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee smiled and simply said, "The one you feed".
