Prose
Warring Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that was going on inside himself.
He said, "My son, it is between 2 wolves.
One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is good: 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 I feed."
