One wise man....

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of everyone.

"My son", he said,"the battle is between two wolves inside of us all. One is evil. It is anger, envey, 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"

      I'm part Cherokee (my great grandmother was full-blooded) and I have never heard this. I love it! I am so glad I read your blog before signing off.
