A Cherokee fable.
A famous chief, known for his kindness and his concern for the tribe, was approached by his grandson. What, he asked, could he do to become a good man?
The chief said, "When I was young, I had within me two wolves, one filled with ambition and anger, one filled with kindness and respect for his fellows. Both fought within me ceaselessly. You have within you the same wolves."
"Which one will win?" the grandson asked.
The old man answered, "The one you feed."
