The two wolves' theory is a profound metaphor for the internal struggle that defines the human experience. As its core, it is about choice, the conscious decision to feed the parts of ourselves that either uplift us or drag us down.
It reminds us that within each person, there is an ever-present conflict between opposing forces: good and evil, love and hate, joy and bitterness. This struggle is not something external, perhaps an intimate part of who we are, playing out in our thoughts, emotions and actions.
The "wolves" represent two paths that are taken in life, one marked by virtues such as compassion, kindness and patience and the other by resentment, greed and anger. In a deeper sense, these wolves are reflections of the inner selves, each born from the experiences, traumas and desires that are carried within.
The wolf we choose to feed is not just a matter of morality, but of identity. Who we become is shaped by the choices we make, both big and small, as we navigate this internal battle. This theory reminds us that who we become is not fixed, perhaps shaped by the choices we make.
We are product of the forces we feed within us. By feeding the positive wolf, we are the product of the forces we feed within us. By feeding the positive wolf, we create space for compassion, joy, and connection.
By understanding the negative wolf, we gain insight into our fears, wounds, and insecurities, transforming them into opportunities for growth. This balance between the two is what allows us to evolve and find harmony within the inevitable conflicts of the human heart.
We are both wolves, but we decide which one leads.
