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.
