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 eye and asked,
"Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."
