Just opened up my email to find this waiting for me. This has got to be one of the best explanations ever!
The Two Wolves (and a wise man)
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, 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.'
