Are you feeding the Wolves?

One evening an old Cherokee man 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."
