Two wolves . . .

One evening an old Cherokee was telling his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves that live 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."

I know that I have to constantly check myself as to which wolf I am feeding.
