The Wolf Inside

An old Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between two wolves.


One wolf is evil: anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego…

The other wolf is good: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith…

The grandson thought about it for a minute, and asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replies, “The one I feed.”
