After getting bored of studying and watching T.V, I somehow thought of writing a post. I was reflecting on myself and how things have changed with me in these past few years. A guy with such a bad temper that he punches the wall and almost breaks his wrist, I must be crazy and still my hand swells after 10 days. A constant greed of being better than yesterday exists, a constant need of being stronger. A well so deep that it can't be overflown and the only solution is to undo the its existence.
A well where devils dwell, devils like ego, lust, gluttony, greed live. It just feels like yesterday when all these things never even existed. But now the ego soars high. Love has no trace and no acts of forgiveness shall be displayed with pleasure. I came across this quote that said, An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment,inferiority, lies & ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth." The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed." Well as shockingly true as it sounds it got me thinking, there is still a side of in all of us that exists. None of the wolves can be killed, they shall always exist in us, it is which wolf we feed. A wolf that hasn't been fed is almost equivalent to nonexistent. But then again the wolf is hungry and desperate. The wolf with ego will protect you when the time comes, the wolf of love will help you survive every fall. But is love enough? What when love goes on a vacation? Its your ego that will help you sail through the darkest of hours for this wolf dwells in darkness itself. Some would say light alone kills darkness but when there can't be light let the dark wolf cut through the forest of misery.
A battle goes on within us, it reflects the way we are. Feed the darker wolf only when needed and feed the white one always. A king is no good without love neither can he be good without a little ego. Forgive me of this being a little vague to you.
