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.
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.'

They are carefully concealed as dust.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between 27 'wolves' inside us all.

The others are Good. They are joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion.

The grandson contemplated the old man's wisdom for a moment, fed the wolf of anger within himself, and stabbed his grandfather in the throat with a bowie knife he had stolen from a settler. The Tribe was all his now.
