A Native American is teaching his grandchildren about life. He says to them:
‘A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority.
The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you and every other person too.’
The children consider this for a moment and then one child asks his grandfather, ‘Which wolf will win?’
The old man simply replies: ‘The one I feed.’
