The Parable of 2 Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
debate that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between "2
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 grandfather, "Which wolf
wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you
feed."
