grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is
between 2 wolves."
"One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, 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."

wins?"
