I first heard this parable when I was in Europe. More recently it has popped up in over 700 places on the Internet, from Dotsie’s NABBW to ExtraMiler and Dally Kos. Guess it resonates again today.
"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "Dear boy, the battle is between the two 'wolves' that exist 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 replied,
"The one you feed."
