Shadow Wisdom From Apache Indian Lore
As legend goes, an Elder of the Apache Indian tribe was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A terrible fight is going on inside of me, and it is a struggle between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, hatred, intolerance, self-pity, false pride, regret and resentment.
The other wolf symbolizes peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, tolerance, courage, empathy, generosity, truth, forgiveness and compassion.
The same fight is going on inside you, my children, and inside every other person, too."The grandchildren thought about the story for a while.
Finally, one child asked, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"
The old man simply replied, "The one you feed."
