Indian Wisdom:
An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "a fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One wolf is evil - he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, also."
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "the one you feed."
