A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
“In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.

One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, and deceit.
The other is good: joy, serenity, humility, confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion.”

A child asked,
“Grandfather, which wolf will win?”

The elder looked him in the eye.
“The one you feed.”

Lesson: Development of good character depends on everyday choices one makes.
