An old Cherokee is telling his granddaughter about a fight that is going 
on inside himself. He said it is between two wolves. One is evil: Anger, 
envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, 
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.  The other is good: 
Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, 
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The granddaughter 
thought about it for a minute and then asked her grandfather, "Which 
wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."
