Cherokee Wisdom








One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about

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 gran-
dfather


"Which wolf wins?"


The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you
feed."

You figure that I would have known that one since I live in the heart of Cherokee territory... but I didn't.

Good wisdom indeed.
