Two Wolves
Submitted by Gene Roos
One evening an old Apache Warrior 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 Apache simply replied, "The one you feed."
