Cherokee parable by bad-apple 2012/02/02 07:28
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,†he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.â€
He continued, “The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too.â€
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?â€
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.â€

Its true that a war with our own self is hard to win. However, we were given a will and its up to us which am0ng the two to be feed. In here our upbringing help a lot to identify which of the 2 wolves win.
