“Čim počnete da se bavite onim “dobrim” i “lošim” kod svoje sabraće, vi stvarate otvor kroz koji ulazi zloba. Proveravanje i kritikovanje drugih, takmičenje s njima vas slabi i poražava.” – Morihei Ueshiba

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 that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and 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 stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
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, fear, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. 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. This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too”
The boy looked intently into his Grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”
The old Cherokee simply replied,” The one you feed.”
WOW…. wonderful tale.
