Feed The Right Wolf

By Sayyidskiy March 21, 2014 Inspirasi, short dialogue

Once upon a time, there was an Old Javanese giving an advice to his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, "My son, everyone has 2 wolves fighting within themselves."

“What do you mean, grandpa?” The kid replied confusedly.

"One wolf is an evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. While the other wolf is the good one. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The old Javanese explained.

His grandson thought about it for a moment and then he asked his grandfather. "So which wolf wins, Grandfather?" The old Javanese simply replied "Of course the one that you always feed."
