Wolf Paw An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at another who had done him an injustice, said, "Let 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."

He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way."

"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. 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."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins Grandfather?"

The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed most".

Each day we find ourselves facing the same situation.

Sadly in most cases the later wolf wins. How many times have you had a perfectly good session ruined by an individual feeding their hatred and anger? I think each break in our country has their local dark wolf.

One individual who frequents Kalk Bay stands out in particular. Mention Grant Spooner and most people who have had a personal encounter with him will have something particularly distasteful to say.

It's time we all took a stand against attitudes like this - so the next time somebody in the water is on the receiving end of unwarranted abuse please back them up.

this is so true we all have the good and the bad - but secret is to find the balance - not to good and not to bad - balance the 2 and you will be free .........
