Description
This classic tale of two wolves has been passed down over the years since its first publication in 1978. The tale reads:
“One evening an old Cherokee told his
grandson about a battle that goes on inside
people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is
between two “wolves” inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,
doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace,
love, home, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity,
forgiveness, 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.'”
