An old, wise man is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside each of us”, he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil. He is anger, envy, greed, regret, arrogance, sorrow, guilt, self-pity, resentment, inferiority, false pride, superiority, lies and ego.”

He continued. “The other is good. He is joy, love, hope, serenity, peace, humility, kindness, empathy, benevolence, generosity, compassion, truth and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”

The old man simply replied:
“The one you feed.”
