The Wolves Within!
An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who
had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times,
have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for
what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like
taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these
feelings many times."
He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good
and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take
offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do
so, and in the right way."
"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will
set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason.
He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with
these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."
The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which
one wins, Grandfather?"
The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."
