One evening a Cherokee elder told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside every person.
"My son, the battle is between two 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 God. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson pondered a moment and then asked: "Which wolf wins?"
The grandfather replied, "The one you feed."
