The Wolves Within!
An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a
schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "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 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. 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 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 solemnly said, "The one I feed."
A Native American tale told many times around the Sacred Fire.

Beware of your defilements like anger, greed and ego inside
us. The more we ‘feed’ them, the more they will grow. We
must watch and check their manifestation.

A Change Of Attitude
By Unknown Author
The story is told of a woman who during the war went to
live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert. She
simply hated the place; the heat was almost unbearable,
125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly,
and there was sand - sand everywhere.
Finally, in desperation she wrote her parents in Ohio that
she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming
home.
Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father - just
the two familiar lines:
"Two men looked out from prison bars...
one saw the mud, the other saw stars."
The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the
intellect but also with her heart. She decided to stick to
her post.
She made friends with the natives, learned to love the
country, and eventually wrote a book about it.
The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to th
her father sent, a whole New World opened up to her.
