The Wolves Within
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy."
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
One of my favorites.
Too bad too many of us keep feeding the beast.
Yep, this is a great one. I ran across this story maybe 5 years ago. It has been in my mind on / off ever since.
I want the good wolf to win. But sometimes my mind sinks into this very dark and cold place. How do i actually feed the good wolf? What do i have to do? I swear i will try.
NightSkye you are definitely one of the good humans. How do you feed the good wolf? Especially as you witness a lot of evil stuff. I don't, but still i struggle with this concept.
Sorry for the off-topic but i could really use some guidance, regarding this.
