Two Wolves

Posted by Warren Henningsen On February - 28 - 2010

A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”

“One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance.”

“The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep VISION.”

“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well.”

The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said. Then he finally cried out; “Oyee! Grandfather, which wolf will win?”

The elder Cherokee replied, “The wolf that you feed.”

  2. Well, I think that clears up a couple of difficulties for me personally. How about any person else?

  3. Now we have now started to control energy whilst things are powerless to keep watch over sooner than later. We will have influence, however its personal power, unused and undirected way nothing. We’ve, with lack of ability, a want to regulate the former. I would say that we’re powerless and as an alternative of being regarded as ignorant (his model of the powerless, I guess.) We know that the facility, ranging from the highest degree, is what he saw when all of that lack of ability to snatch the idea of testing was exposed.
