One evening an old Comanche told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said,
“My Son, there is a battle between two Wolves living inside us all.
One wolf is evil. It is anger, fear, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret. It is greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, perseverance, 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 Comanche replied simply,
“The one you feed.“
