An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
โA fight is going on inside me,โ he said to the boy.
โIt is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evilโhe is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.โ
He continued, โThe other is good โ he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside youโand inside every other person, too.โ
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: โWhich wolf will win?โ
The old Cherokee simply replied, โThe one you feed.โ
