After watching the news, a grandson turned to his grandfather and asked why there was so much hate and trouble in the world. The grandfather thought for a moment and then began to share a story of two wolves.
"These two wolves," the grandfather explained, "hated each other. They were always fighting, clawing and attacking each other. They could never get along."
"Why?" The grandson asked. "Why didn't they stay away from each other?"
The grandfather went on, "Well, they couldn't. One of the wolves represented evil. He was bitter, angry and full of hatred. The other wolf represented all that is good in the world. He was full of love and compassion. He defended himself when attacked but never sought to hurt the first wolf."
The grandson was troubled. "Which wolf wins such a battle?"
The grandfather paused only a moment and replied, "The one you feed - the one you feed."
