An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is 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 it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which
wolf will win, Grandfather?”
The Elder simply replied, “The one you feed.”
This is Truth...in any way shape and form. No getting around it. Obviously, you know the wolf I fed.
