The Two Wolves

(This may be the best I have ever heard it explained!)

The Two Wolves

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.

One is Evil.

It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret , greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good.

It is 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 old Cherokee simply replied,
'The one you feed .'
