The two wolves inside of us, Islamic Stories,-

An old Indian 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 thathave taken so much, with no sorrow for whatthey do. But hate
wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy.
It is like taking poison and wishing your enemywould 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 noharm. He lives in harmony with all round him
and does not take offense when no offensewas intended. He will only
fight when it is right to do so, and in theright way. He saves all his
energy for the right fight.
But the other wolf, ahhh!
He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set 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
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 eyes and asked...
"Which one wins, Grandfather?"
The Grandfather smiled and quietly said......
"The one I feed."
