wolfs

A friend sent this to me:

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me.....it is a terrible fight and is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity,guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

And the grandfather said, "the one you feed."
