A Cherokee grandfather sitting with his grandchildren told them, “In 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: he is 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”
For a comment by Jesus on this topic see Matthew 15
