Good and Evil

One evening an old Man told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
“One is evil, which is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
“The other is good, which is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”
The old Man simply replied, “The one you feed.

It happens with all of us. We all have both a good side and a bad side. Sometimes we are so angry  that we keep on feeding our anger more with our thoughts and hence making the angry wolf win whereas  at other times  our kindness and love take over  and  the  good wolf wins. If we are a little more conscious of our thoughts/actions  then we can  always make sure that  our good wolf(good side) always wins.
“Always remember that ALL(no exceptions) OF US HAVE A GOOD  WOLF INSIDE US. Just remember to feed it. ”
