Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have two weeks of blissful holiday, which I am going to spend visiting my parents and school/university friends. And for all of you, here is a little holiday present: an ancient Cherokee legend.
An elder was teaching his grandchildren about life and he said to them: "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represent fear, hate, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, superiority, lies and pride. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other human."
The children thought about the elder's words and then one child asked: "Grandfather, which wolf will win?" The elder simply replied:
...
"The one I feed."
Happy holidays!
