One evening an old Cherokee told his grandchild about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, “My child, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

One is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion and faith.”

The child thought for a minute and then asked, “Which one wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
