All I got this from Mike Sanford and thought it was a good one to share =

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.

"A fight is going on inside me," he 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, 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 grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his =
grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"

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