Dog Fight

Author: George Bernard Shaw

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time." When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, 'The one I feed the most'.

Ty for sharing, there's an inuit tale very similar with the same ending. I believe it's about two wolves:)
