One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people......
He said, "My son, the battle is between the two "wolves" inside all of us.
One is Evil . It is anger, hatred, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, 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 replied simply, "The one you feed."
"But Grandfather, what if you feed them both?"
"Nitrowolf!"
