An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, \u201cLet me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times.\u201d<\/p>\n

He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n
