- TWO WOLVES -

one evening an old cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people - he said, "my son, the battle's between two 'wolves' inside us all
`
one's evil - it's anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority & ego
`
one's good - it's joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion & faith
`
the grandson thought about it for a minute & then asked his grandfather, "which wolf wins?"
`
the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that wins, is the one you feed"
