From Dan Galvin's Thought For The Day mailing list:
-----------
An Old Cherokee describes an experience going on inside himself....
"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 old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Ah...wisdom from my people - how refreshing! (Actually, my great-grandmother was Cherokee, so I'm not sure how much that translates to me!)
May I quote it and link back to you?
