Wolves
Some people say there are two wolves inside each of
us. There is a constant battle between those two
wolves. And you decide the winner.
Tsali , an old chief of the Cherokees ( a tribe of North
American Indians that live in Southwest of the United
States), often walks along the stream near the village with
his grandson. They do that almost every day. The old man
knows a lot of stories full of adventure or wisdom and the
boy loves to listen to them.
This morning Tsali decides to tell the boy about a battle that
sometimes happens inside himself. The old man says, “ This
battle is between two wolves. One is evil: cruelty, hate,
anger, envy, despair, greed, arrogance, guilt, lies,
resentment, inferiority, superiority, and ego.
The old Indian stops for a moment and then says, “ The
other is good: joy, peace, love, hope, empathy, friendship,
serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth, compassion,
and faith…”
The boy is filled with curiosity. He looks at this grandfather
and asks, “ What happens then? Which wolf wins?”
Tsali just smiles and answers, “ The one I feed.”
