The Theatre of Your Mind

The story is handed down of an old Cherokee chief who told his granson about a battle that goes on inside people.

"The battle is between two wolves," he said. "One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, joy, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about this for a minute and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee chief replied, "The one you feed."
