An old Cherokee Indian Chief was teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside of me," he said to his grandson. "It is a terrible fight between two wolves," he continued.
"One is evil- angry, envious, sorrowful, regretful, greedy, arrogant, self-pitying, guilt-ridden, resentful, lying, full of false pride, superiority and ego driven," the Chief continued to say.
Then the Chief pause and said, "The other wolf is good- joyful, peaceful, loving, hopeful, serene, humble, kind, empathetic, generous, truthful, compassionate, and faithful."
.
"The same fight is going on inside of you, grandson, and in every other person," said the Chief.
The grandson thought about this for a moment, turned to the Chief, and said, "But, grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied, "The one that you feed."
