An Old Cherokee Saying This is probably the best I've ever heard life explained!
TWO WOLVES
One evening an old Cherokee elder told his grandchild about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My child, the battle is between two wolves inside 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 other is God - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandchild thought about it for a minute and then asked the elder: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee elder simply replied, "The one you feed."
