I just found this in an article I was reading online by Devon Corneal:
"[I am reminded] of a Native American story in which a Cherokee man tells his grandson about a battle that goes on inside every person. He says, "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 thinks for a minute and then asks, "Which wolf wins?"
His grandfather replies, "The one you feed."
