Another big bad wolf story

As mentioned several times before, Joshua loves stories about the Big Bad Wolf (BBW). He's also at an age where he gets a large, daily, repetitive dose of life lessons on the morality of whether or not he should horde all the toys to his little brother's deprivation. Here's one for all of us:

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride, and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too.”

The children thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied: “The one I feed.”
