One evening a Cherokee elder told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people.

He said, " My son the battle is between the two 'wolves' that live inside us all.
One is Unhappiness. It is fear, worry, anger, jealousy, sorrow, self-pity, resentment, and inferiority.

The other is Happiness. It is joy, love, serenity, kindness, generosity, truth, and compassion. "

The grandson thought foe a minute and then asked his grandfather,

" Which wolf wins ? "

The old Cherokee simply replied,

" The one you feed."
