This crossed my desk recently and I thought it would be a good idea to pass it on to our readers. I know I needed to hear this type of thing again. I would like to give credit to the author, but none was mentioned.

The story goes:

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandson about life. One day he said to him: “I want you to know that a fight is going on inside of me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”

“One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other represents joy, peace, love hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth compassion and faith”.

The grandson said, “Grandfather, how terrible.”

Grandfather paused for a moment and then continued. “I tell you this because I want you to understand that this same fight is going on inside you and every other person too.”

The grandson quickly asked “Grandfather, which one will win?”

Grandfather replied, “The one you feed”.
