## About

A grandfather is talking with his grandson and he says there are two wolves inside of us that are always at war with each other.

One is the good wolf who represents kindness, bravery, and love. The other is the bad wolf who represents greed, hatred, and fear.

The grandson stops and thinks about it for a second, then looks to his grandfather and says,

“Grandfather, which one wins?”

The grandfather replies,

“The one you feed”
