Two Wolves

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.”

  1. Chief Running Bear was approached by one of his braves and was asked, “Chief, how does our tribe determine the names of the tribes’ children?” Chief Running Bear replied, “When I was born, a running bear was seen, when Soaring Eagle was born, an eagle flew over the village. Why do you ask Two Dogs f#*^&%g?”
