Cherokee Legend - Two Wolves

"An old Cherokee is teaching her grandson about life... "A fight is going on inside me," she said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - it is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, gratitude, trust, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandmother, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee smiled and said, "The one you feed."
