Got this back in 2003!

The Two Wolves
A Cherokee Legend

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren
about
life.
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible
fight
and it is between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority
and ego.

The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing,
serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity,
truth,
compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other
person,
too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his
grandfather: "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one you feed."
