An elderly Cherokee
Native American
was talking to his
grandson about life.
He said,
“There’s a fight
going on inside
of me between
two wolves.
One wolf stands for
fear, anger, sorrow,
resentment, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, inferiority,
and ego.
The other wolf stands for
joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness,
empathy, compassion,
and faith.”
He looked at
his grandson and said,
“This same fight
is going on inside of
you too.”
The grandson thought
then asked,
“Which wolf will win?”
The wise elder replied,
“The wolf that you feed.”
