Once an old man taught his grandson about life.
"A fight is going on inside me." he told the boy. "It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This very same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other, too."
The grandson thought about it for a moment and then asked, "Which wolf will win?"
The old man simply replied, "The one you feed."
