Native American Folklore and Wisdom
Just a ...Dumb Old Indian
An elderly 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 it
is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil --- he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition,
superiority, and ego.

The other wolf is good --- he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith.

This 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?"

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