One evening and Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of 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, truth, compassion and faith."
The Grandson thought about it for a minute and asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
