 TWO WOLVES

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