The Two Wolves -- an inspiring story to share by cca (不归的如来佛) at 2010.1.14 12:27 (#5804228@0)

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said, “A battle is raging inside me…it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The old man looked at the children with a firm stare. “This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee replied: “The one you feed.”The Two Wolves -- an inspiring story to share

  • 枫下佳缘 / 情爱悠悠 / When I send a text message to some friends ,
    The most frequent words I use are "Keep in touch"
    Sometimes I really doubt how many of us can really keep in touch after a year, several years, a decade?

      • I thought the answer should be "The one who believes in God."
