growth and “Inner Fitness”
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, 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.’
