I keep a file of inspiring or thought provoking material that I am sent.  Clearing through paperwork a couple of days ago, I came across this.  I have no idea who the author is so I am unable to acknowledge the creator by name.   It is simple and poignant and goes like this:-

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.  "A fight is going on inside me", he said to the boy.  "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.  One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,  false pride, superiority, and ego.  the other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.  This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too"  The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather which wolf would win.  The old Cherokee simply replied........"The one you feed."
