Two Wolves

By Anonymous

A Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is
going on inside himself.
One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, fearful thinking,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then
asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
The Cherokee simply replied, “The one I fed.”
