  1. Unless you are kinder than this to the angry wolf it will find a way to steal the food. Choosing sides does not resolve conflict (unless you intend to fight to the bitter end). It's a useful metaphor only in very simplistic terms.

  2. i disagree and believe mindfulness is actually mindlessness. Just as the Ying Yang goes there must be a balance between the two, negativity can offer alot of self reflection and constructive criticism. We live in a very narcissistic world where "mindfulness" can do more harm than good, when you consider the hard truth to face that we are all addicted to short term pleasures and rewards you realize that maybe it isnt good to focus on solely the present and the things that make us feel good and that you need negative reflection to change the things you hate about yourself that you know deep down need to change. Simply giving into the world is NOT a power its giving up, it being a sheep! Focusing on the good more than the bad is not how you master life. I believe this "mindfulness" is being used to further push the masses into impulsive short term thinking.

  3. Herman Hesse the writer of such classics as Siddhartha, had a recurring theme of the 'wolf' (the side of us which we perceive to be abhorent) in his books. It appears as a dark shadow not accepted. That's why i like this interpretation of acceptance.

  4. This is great advise. Let go of anger and sadness. Dont suppress it and hold its grudges. Believe in your will and self. Nurture love and compassion. Happiness lies in mindfulness.
