The Fight of the Wolves is a legend of the Indians Cherokee, ideal to teach the child to distinguish what is good from what is wrong. Making the child differentiate the good from the bad must be part of the education he receives from his parents and educators. How to do it? It is not always easy because it depends a lot on the example that the child receives from the people around him. However, even if it is a sensitive issue, children need to learn to differentiate these two worlds so that at their adult age they can know how to act, defend themselves or face all situations in the future.
The first years of a child's life are fundamental for implanting positive values such as respect, putting oneself in the other's place, love, self-control, non-violence, and knowing how to differentiate the good from the bad, the appropriate from the inappropriate, right from wrong, due from improper, etc.
The fight of the wolves. Cherokee legend
An elderly Indian Cherokee invited the children of the village to sit in a circle to tell a story about life, about the different paths we can choose to continue in life ...
The Indian told them:
- There is a battle that always happens inside me and that will also be inside you ... it's a great fight between two wolves:
... A wolf represents: fear, anger, envy,
grief, repentance, greed,
the arrogance, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority and ego. El
... The other wolf is
: joy, peace, love,hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence,
friendship, generosity, truth and faith .
The old man looked at the children and said: Esa - That same struggle is taking place inside you and in any person who lives.
The children were thinking for a moment and one of the grandchildren asked the grandfather:
- And which of the two wolves will win?
And the old Cherokee replied:
- The wolf that you feed the most will win.
