*************** One short story from the book illustrates: "A Native-American elder was teaching his grandson about life. He said, 'A fight sometimes goes inside me between two wolves. One represents evil: he is envy, greed, arrogance, guilt, and ego. The other is about good; he is love, joy, peace, humility, kindness, and generosity. The same fight will sometimes go on inside you, and in others.' 'Which will win,' said the boy. The elder replied, 'the one you feed.' " ***************** |
