Life: Story of Two Wolves


An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them 

"A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolves is evil - he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The sane fight is going on inside you, and inside every person too."

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather,

"Which wolf will win, grandpa?"

The elder simply replied,

"The one you feed."
