The Wolves Within (a riddle)
By 
Introduction
This is an Indian parable with unknown origins but credit is given frequently to the Cherokee Nation.
"Outside the tepee," said the old chief to his young braves, "there circles two wolves. Each one watches opening of the tepee, the door to the shelter protecting our spirits."
One is Evil.
He circles. He is angry, envious, jealous and greedy. He is full of arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,and inferiority, He circles with a strategy of lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. His intent is to consume, destroy and kill.
One is Good.
He circles with a desire to protect and nurture the occupants of the tepee. He has been a purveyor of joy, peace, love, hope, humility and kindness. His soul carries weapons of empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. He will battle to death, driven by love to protect the occupants of the tepee.
The wolves will battle. The circle of paths has no escape.
"Which one will win and come into the tepee?" the wise chief asked the circle of braves, waiting for direction.
Yikes, that first wolf picture almost bit me!
Ha! Well, I warned you!
