On evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
The bad wolf is fearful, frustrated, guilt ridden, sorrowful, regretful, self-pity, resentful, inferiority and lies.
The good wolf is joy, peace, confidence, hope, strength, serenity, kindness, truth, compasssion and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
When we get obscure thoughts it is our choice thereafter as per which wolf we want to feed.
