As told by Mariano Aupilardjuk

A wise elder 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 wolf is evil; he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego."

"The other wolf 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 for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf will win?"

The wise old elder replied, "The one we feed."
