There is a beautiful story, often attributed to Native Americans, about a grandfather and his grandson. The grandfather said, “There is a war going on inside of me. It is a very ugly fight.” His grandson asked, “What kind of war is it?” The grandfather replied, “It is a fight between two wolves. One is this evil wolf that is malicious, hateful, angry, stingy, passive-aggressive, self-pitying, and arrogant, with both superiority and inferiority complexes. The other wolf is very benevolent, carefree, joyous, forgiving, humorous, compassionate, courageous, loving, generous, and openhearted.” His grandson asked, “Who will win this war?” The grandfather answered, “The one you feed the most.”
