Well recently a tumblr blogger Pavor Nocturnus did the world an enormous favour and dug into the real origins of this ‘Cherokee wisdom’, providing some excellent sources. Wow, I’m just shivering with all that good Indian wisdom flowing through me now. The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
