Came across an interesting Native American "parable". It's not Buddhist but 
who says Buddhism has a monopoly on wisdom ?:-)

One evening an  old Cheyenne told his grandson  about a battle that goes on 
inside  people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2  "wolves"  inside us  
all. 

One  is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,sorrow,  regret, greed, arrogance, 
self-
pity, guilt, resentment,  inferiority,lies, false pride, superiority, and  ego. 

The other is Good. It 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 Cheyenne simply replied, "The one you  feed."
