The parable of the two wolves: Choosing inner strength and compassion

 

 In a time log ago, An old Cherokee chief imparted his wisdom to his young grandson.He shared a tale of a great battle within himself, a battle between two wolves.One wolf represented fear, anger, sorrow and all negative emotions that burdened the spirit.While the other wolf embodied joy, peace,love and all positive virtues that uplifted the soul.Curious, the grandson asked his wise grandfather, 

“ Which wolf will prevail, grandfather?”,

  With a gentle smile, the chief replied, 

    

  "The one you feed.”
