65. Bitka med Dobrim in Zlom

Nekega večera, star Cherokee Indijanec, pove svojemu vnuku o bitki, ki se bije v nas ljudeh.

"Sin moj," je dejal, "v vsakem od nas prebivata dva volka.

Eden je Zlo; jeza, zavist, ljubosumje, obžalovanje, pohlep, aroganca, samo-pomilovanje, krivda, zamera, manj vrednost, laž, lažni ponos, superiornost in ego.

Drugi je Dobro; veselje, vzpon, ljubezen, upanje, vedrost, ponižnost, prijaznost, dobro hotnost, empatija, radodarnost, resnica, sočutje in upanje."

Vnuk je za trenutek pomislil, nato pa vprašal: "In kateri volk zmaga?"

Starec mu preprosto odvrne: "Tisti, ki ga hraniš!"



One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson abouth a battle that goes on inside people."My son," he said, "the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, fals pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, prace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compasion, and faith."The grandson thought abouth it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
