Adventures in Being

One evening a young but wise mother told her son about a battle that goes on inside people. She said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves....

One is Evil. It is hate, prejudice, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and ego.

"The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The son thought about it for a minute and then asked his mother, "Which wolf wins?"

His mom simply replied, "The one you feed."
