An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life ... He said to them, "A fight is going on inside of me, it is a terrible fight, a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil - he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too."
They thought about this for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"
The elder simply replied, "The one you feed".
