A Cherokee Legend - Will Good or Evil Win?

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."

He continued, "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." 

And this is so true.
