The Tsalagi People (Cherokee) believed that within each person was a battle between two wolves. Sitting with his grandson, a grandfather explained that one of the wolves was evil and was driven by anger, envy, regret, ego and the worship of war.
The other wolf was good and was driven by love, hope, compassion, and the promise of peace.
Thinking about the wolves already growing within him, the boy asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?
And the old man replied, "The one you feed."

if they have any taste at all, the wolves LOVE fish & chips...evil or good, ya gotta love fish & chips...and the chips can't be wimpy little frenchy doodle fries, they must be right big chips, veritable planks of potato, crunchy outside, tender inside...egad...i'm making myself hungry...it's off to the brewery and hopefully fish & chips is on the special menu tonight...
:D
Heard a diocesan priest tell this story at noon mass. Has always stuck with me and I see it in action,day after day. Feed the one you love! ;)
