Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about  a battle that goes on inside all people. 

He said, 'My son, 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 Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,  serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,  compassion and faith.'

The grandson thought about it for a minute and  then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'
The old Cherokee simply  replied, 'The one you feed.'
