The
One You Feed
An
old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on
inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is
between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority and ego.
The
other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
The
same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The
grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which
wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
