This story was printed in my apartment complex monthly newsletter:
A Cherokee Indian chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me" he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is 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 inside every other person too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old chief replied, "The one you feed."
