Something to think about

One evening an old cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of people. He said
"well my son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It isanger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity, guilt, judgement, resentment, 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 thought about it for a minute and then asked, "well which wolf wins?"
The old cherokee simply replied, "the one you feed."
