The wolf fight

One evening, a very wise man was speaking with his grandson about life, about the internal battle that goes on inside all people.

He said, "my son, inside all of us there exists a constant battle between two wolves. One wolf is very evil. It forces you to deal with anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and a self centered, destructive ego.

The other wolf is good. It helps you to experience joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, faith, self-respect, and to develope a giving, constructive ego."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "which wolf wins?"

The wise man replied, "my son the one you feed. "
