An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.....

"A fight is going on inside me" he said to the boy. "It's a terrible fight between two wolves.

One is evil: he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self doubt, and ego.

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

This same fight is going on inside you and every other person too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather "which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "the one you feed"
