EXPLANATION OF LIFE

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of people. He said, " My son the battle is between two wolves inside of 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 second 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 then asked his grandfather, " Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, " The one you feed."
Thanks to my friend, Audrey, for this piece of wisdom!
