An old grandfather sat with his grandson by the fire. The boy was angry. His friend had cheated him, and he wanted revenge.
The grandfather said softly, 'Let me tell you something. There is a fight going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves.'
'One wolf is bad. He is anger, jealousy, lies, ego, and hate. The other wolf is good. He is peace, love, truth, kindness, and hope.'
The grandfather looked at the boy. 'The same fight is going on inside you. And inside every person on this earth.'
The boy thought for a while. Then he asked, 'Grandfather, which wolf wins?'
The old man smiled and gave an answer people still repeat today:
'The one you feed.'
