The battle within
One evening, Chief Wakantuka, an old Cherokee, sat with his grandson discussing the fallacies/intricacies of life. So, he 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 learned grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one which you feed".
