The Cherokee Grandfather Wisdom
Story★★★★He’s talking to his grandson around the fire.
And he says, there’s a great battle that goes on inside of people. He said, my son, The battle is between 2 wolves inside of you. 1 is evil. It is angry. It is envy. It is jealousy. It is sorrow. It is regret. It is greed. It is arrogance. It’s self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
And in this is the heart of the matter. This is your salvation.
The grandson said, okay. Grandfather, Which wolf wins, the evil 1 or the good 1?
The old man says, the 1 you feed.
