Feeding the Wolf

  

An old Judge 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.”

 

He continued “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The 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 Judge simply replied “The one you feed”
