Two
Wolves - A Cherokee Parable
One
evening a Native American elder told his grandson about a battle that goes on
inside people.
He said,
'My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is anger, envy,
jealousy, sorrow, regret, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride and superiority. The other is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth and
compassion.'
The
grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, 'Which
wolf wins?'
The elder
simply replied, 'The one that we feed.'
