The One You Feed


"A fight is going on inside me," the man said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil -he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. The other is good -he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too."

The boy thought for a minute and asked the man, "Which wolf will win?"

The man replied simply, "The one you feed."
