Ann Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle 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."

Dazy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thank you for sharing that, Ann. As a member of the Western Cherokee Nation, I love to see the wisdoms, and stories of our Elders shared, and appreciated by others. Wado! ~Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
