👉Inside Every Person There Are Two Wolves… Which One Wins?

A young boy once asked his grandfather about anger and darkness inside the human mind.

The old man replied with a story about two wolves living inside every person — one full of anger, jealousy and fear… the other full of kindness, peace and love.

But the real surprise was the answer to one simple question:

Which wolf wins?

This classic Zen parable beautifully illustrates the duality of human experience and the power of perception in shaping our reality.

The story of the samurai and the Zen master explores the thin line between heaven and hell, showing how emotional reactions—whether driven by anger or gratitude—are within our control.

There was once a pair of acrobats. The teacher was a poor widower and the student was a young girl by the name of Meda. These acrobats performed each day on the streets in order to earn enough to eat. . Their act consisted of the teacher balancing a tall bamboo pole on his head while the little girl climbed slowly to the top. Once to the top, she remained there while the teacher walked along the ground. . Both performers had to maintain complete focus and balance in order to prevent any injury from occurring and to complete the performance. One day, the teacher said to the pupil: . 'Listen Meda, I will watch you and you watch me, so that we can help each other maintain concentration and balance and prevent an accident. Then we'll surely earn enough to eat.' . But the little girl was wise, she answered, 'Dear master, I think it would be better for each of us to watch ourself. To look after oneself means to look after both of us. That way I am sure we will avoid any accidents and earn enough to eat.' . #circus #circusshow #circuslife #circusparty #circusstory #wisdom #wisdomteeth #wisdomstories #balancedlifestyle #balancedliving #balancedlife #zen #buddhism

"For some of us, hunting for stories is both a passion and a necessity. Having stories in hand is vital for performance and workshop requests – but that’s not all. When feeling challenged by new situations, having a story to reflect on can be hugely valuable in helping guide behavior. When grappling with best responses to difficult circumstances, having a story to share can help pull us all out of a rut."
