"Two Wolves Fighting in my Heart" A Cherokee Legend

An old indian was talking to his grandson and said:

"A fight is going on inside me, I feel like I have two wolves fighting in my heart," he said to the boy.

It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil-he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego."

"The other is good-he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, companion and faith.

He told his grandson the same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too.

The grandson asked:

"Grandpa, tell me which of the two wolves will win the fight in your heart?"

The grandfather answered :

"The one you feed."
