Two Wolves
One evening an old Mohawk 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 grand son thought about it for a minute and then
asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Mohawk simply replied, "The one you feed."
