Cherokee Indian Wisdom
An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside of me… It is a terrible fight that is occuring 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, hope, love, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”
“The same fight is going on inside of you and every other person.”
The children thought about it. Then one child asked, “Which wolf will win Grandfather?”
The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”
