A young boy, troubled by his feelings of both peace and anger, asked his grandfather, “Why do I sometimes feel so angry and other times so calm and peaceful?” The grandfather replied, “It is like a battle between two wolves inside me. One is full of anger, hatred, and bitterness; the other is filled with love, compassion, and peace.” The boy asked, “Which wolf will win?” The grandfather replied, “The one you feed.” This story teaches that our emotions are like wolves, and it is up to us to choose which feelings we nurture and act upon.
