The One that you feed...

A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his Grandson.
"A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between 2 wolves.," he said to the boy.

"One wolf is evil and ugly. He is anger, envy, war, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance."

"The other wolf is beautiful and good. He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, compassion, gratitude, and deep vision."

"The same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other other human being, as well."

The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he cried out, "Oh, Grandfather, which wolf will win?"

The elder Cherokee simply replied, ""The one that you feed."
