Which wolf wins?

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. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, 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 heard similar kind of dialogue in a movie "Jism". From the first time i heard it i love this.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful message.  

Few days before i got angry on someone, couldn't control myself, was talking rudely with my friends around. I didn't know what to do, then i decide to speak with a friend whom i trust a lot the next moment i m different, he gave me different prospective of looking at it. This story tells it all whichever wolf is nurtured that wolf only wins, and which wolf wins affects your mood.

Thank you friend
