Two Wolves
A Native American story from the Cherokee nation:
The Cherokee believed that within each person was a battle between two wolves. Sitting with his grandson, a grandfather explained that one of the wolves was evil and was driven by anger, envy, regret, ego and the worship of war.
The other wolf was good, and was driven by love, hope compassion and the promise of peace.
Thinkng about the wolves already growing within him, the boy asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
And the old man replied, “The one you feed.”
As told by Willie Nelson.
