the story of the two hungry wolves

October 21st, 2006 · 9 Comments

if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. thanks for visiting!

here is a wonderful native parable that i first came across in ted kuntz’s beautiful book, peace begins with me.

a grandfather and grandson were walking through the forest one winter evening. from far away, they heard the wolves howl.

“hungry wolves!” said the grandson.

“yes, just like the ones inside us,” said the grandfather.

“what do you mean? we have wolves inside us, hungry wolves?”

“yes, we do. two wolves.”

“two wolves?”

“one wolf is always angry. and resentful, greedy, full of false pride, self-pity and arrogance. he bears his teeth and is always ready to pounce.”

“and the other one?”

“the other one has it in him to be a great pack leader. he protects the young and knows where to take the pack when the winds get too fierce. he is full of love, hope, kindness, joy, compassion, serenity and generosity. he is peaceful and humble and has a great sense of humour.”

“what do these two wolves do inside of us?”

“they fight with each other for your soul.”

“which one wins?’

“the one who wins, grandson, is the one you feed.”

    So simply put. I’m going to print this out and put on my bullentin board. Thank You for sharing. I went to see the Dali Lama when he was hear in Vancouver. He talked about being friendly to strangers and warned not to seek acknowledgement from others. In fact he commented some may look at you strangely, wondering why you are kind. Being kind is not about others it is about yourself…feeding the wolf within….

    “being kind is not about others, it is about yourself” - yes, i find that working on acknowledging that is a good discipline. if being kind is a form of giving, then we can treat it like that: giving freely, without any expectations about gratitude or reciprocation.

    I love this story of our responsibility to our own character. I first saw it taped to the back of a cash register at a Sabarro pizza place.

    Nice to meet you.

  • 6 shootings. holocaust. » change therapy - isabella mori // Apr 16, 2007 at 3:25 pm

    […] what world does a person live in who kills like this – like this shooter, like those who captured, tortured and killed people in the holocaust? mass murderers and serial killers are not born – they evolve. one person speaks of “horrible personal demons of rage, hatred, repression and violent fantasies”. again, these demons don’t just appear on the scene one day. demons need to be nurtured to do damage, just like in the story of the two hungry wolves. who/what nurtured them? who was not around to chase them out? […]

    Great story, great lesson. When the nasty wolf is winning in me, I’m usually feeding him anxiety. When the “good” wolf is winning, I’m usually feeding him gratitude and empathy for others.

    This has given me focus for the day ahead. Thanks!

    isn’t it a great story? every time i come back to it, i so enjoy reading it.

    let me see what my good and not-so-good wolves are today … the latter, today, thrives on distraction. the good wolf blossoms with surrender.

    I like your blog and it seems you are doing a lot of good work for people, in an innovative online way. I will suggest your blog to a friend’s sister who suffers from issues that you cover here. I wish you the best of luck with your project.
