terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.
The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed and allow
