Within"
(also known by some commercially as "Pack Leader") is based on a
ancient Cherokee legend called "The Wolves Within" that goes....
An old Grandfather said
to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done
him an injustice... "Let me tell you a story."
"I too, at times,
have felt great hate for those who have taken so much, with no
sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt
your enemy. It's like taking poison and wishing your enemy would
die. I have struggled with these feelings many times. "
"It is as if there
are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in
harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no
offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so,
and in the right way."
"But...the other
wolf... ah! The littlest thing will send him into a fit of temper.
He fights everyone, all of the time, for no reason. He cannot think
because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger, for
his anger will change nothing."
"Sometimes it is
hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try
to dominate my spirit."
The boy looked
intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins,
Grandfather ?"
The Grandfather
smiled and quietly said, "The one I feed."
