An Indian guru was telling his students about the two wolves that inhabit each and everyone of us. "Inside you and inside me, there is a permanent fight between the wolf of Hope and the wolf of Despair", he said.
One student asked: "Which one will win, Master?".
"The one you feed" was his answer.
While living with an alcoholic, I fed the wolf of Despair. And now, even though my husband quit drinking, it's not easier to feed the wolf of Hope. Trusting him is one of my biggest issues.
