A story about inner conflict

Here is a parable sent to us by Ben at Stillwater Meditation.

How often have we suffered over our inner conflicts? Why is it so hard to do the right thing?

An old Cherokee was 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 grandfather replied, "The one you feed."
