THE STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES
The following is an Old Cherokee Indian story
that is enlightening and helpful.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside people. He said,
“My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us
all.”
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two
wolves. 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 other 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-and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a
minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?
The Old Cherokee simply replied,
The one you feed.
