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."

Which wolf do you feed?

This analogy was used before and I really enjoyed reading it.

Anything that causes me to think and be reminded about what I should feed, those things which are good in nature.

I have two wolves and a couple of big cats inside me. But I think I enjoyed the gazelle and zebra best of all.
