Sharing a beautiful short fable with a great message for today :
………………
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, 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,
false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather:
“Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied,
“The one you feed.”
[เคนเคพเคเคฟเคฎ-เค-เคถเคนเคฐ = officers of town, เคฎเคเคฎเคพ-เค-เคเคฎ = group of common men, เคธเคเค-เค-เคฆเฅเคถเคจเคพเคฎ = infamous, เคถเคพเคฏเคพเค = capable, เคฆเคฟเคฒเคซเคฟเคเคพเคฐเฅ = wounded heart]
My all time favourite. A gem from a gem.
When Faiz was being taken from the jail in Lahore, in chains, to a dentistโs office in a horse cart (tonga) through the familiar streets, people recognized him, followed his tonga. He expressed this feeling through this poem.
