One evening an old man told his son about a battle that goes on inside people. He said: "Son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is evil; it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, guilt, lies and ego. The other wolf is good; it is joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, faith, compassion, truth and hope. The son asked father: "Which wolf wins?" The old man replied: "The one you feed". |
thats' cool
Moral dualism is naive, and it is essentially a
flawed method of thinking. If one must follow the
analogy: there is only one wolf within us.
* note this story/fable is attributed to Cherokee
Indians. If one reads writings from early
meaningful contacts with the Cherokee one should
recognize it can not have come from them. I
suppose it could be a modern Cherokee story too.
It is probably more likely that this fable
originated from the early attempts to Christianize
them, either entirely foreign to them, or a
partial adaptation of one of their own fables to
fit the Christian value system.
Very nice. True indeed, the parts of your life you
feed or that you allow to grow, thats who you
become.
Even though I think you right and I see what you
mean #2, nothing is black or white, I don't think
this saying is supposed to be 'overanalysed' but
rather just brought to our attension.
#5 old habits die hard.. when your a fan of fables
and on top of it enjoy reading Sufi writings,
analyzing stories is second nature. I also wanted
to point something about its origin for two
reasons - one - given the nature of blog, it might
lead some to believe it sparks from his own mind
and - two - the origin of ideas often shed light
on the ideas themselves. It might even explains
why, a self professed Christian like Mazor, found
it appealing enough to share it with us in his
blog. It is a blog after all a place to debate and
share.
And as far as the claim of me "over analyzing" I will warn you that I did not even go into the depths of the use of the word wolf and its possible symbolisms in Amerindians or European cultures. Anyway, one more spot on the the tiger matters little. It is my nature to over analyze.
