Always loved this...
Got this as an email several years back, had it printed - and have it on my wall here:
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee man told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between the two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentement, 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".
