[claireydid]

24. A young Boy asked his grandfather how he became such a good man. His grandfather answered by saying, "I have two wolves inside me, and so do you. One wolf is kind, gracious, generous, selfless, and brave; While the other is evil, violent, selfish,destructive, and relentless. They are locked in battle and neither will stop until the other is destroyed" The boy looked horrified and in a desperate tone begged, "But grandfather, which one will win?" The wise man looked at his grandson intensly and said, "The one I feed."
