Are you feeding the right wolf?

I found this story on the Awakening Women's blog & really liked it.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son,the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all.
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.

The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
“Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied,
“The one you feed.”

I'm afraid I've been spending a lot of time feeding the Evil one. What about the rest of you?
