An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."
"One wolf is evil, unhappy and ugly: He is anger, envy, war,
greed, selfishness, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, superiority, false pride, coarseness and arrogance. He spread lies, deceit, fear, hatred, blame, scarcity, poverty and divisiveness."
"The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, loving, worthy, serene, humble, kind, benevolent, just, fair, empathetic, generous, honest, compassionate, grateful, brave and inspiring resting wholeheartedly in deep vision beyond ordinary wisdom."
"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 replied, "The one you feed."
