An old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
“My son, he said, “the battle is between 2 wolves.”
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about that for a moment and then asked his grandfather “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
