An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchild about life. 

He said to her, “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, too.” 

She thought about it for a minute and then asked her grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” 

The old Cherokee simply replied: “The one you feed.”
