One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, «My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

«One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, 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 it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: «Which wolf wins?»

The old Cherokee simply replied, «The one you feed.»
