The Two Wolves


A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."

It really boils down to which "wolf" to choose. However, it is not that easy as it sounds. It's a struggle to embrace what is good when confronted by the vices of this world. But at the end of the day, doing the right thing has its rewards, both within ourselves and those around us.
