Date Posted: 07:12:36 06/20/07 Wed WOLVES WITHIN An old Grandfather said to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice, Let me tell you a story. I too, at times have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and it 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 send 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 a helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. Sometimes 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's and asked, Which one wins Grandfather? The Grandfather smiled and quietly said "THE ONE I FEED" [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
