TWO WOLVES - A CHEROKEE PARABLE

Two Wolves - A Cherokee Parable


An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...


"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."


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



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


"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied,

"The one you feed."
