"The Cherokee legend of "Two Wolves" tells of the two wolves within us all. Alba, if you have not read it, find it. Everyone should be fluent in that story."
The paranoid have learned how to see the "bad wolf" in everyone, even in those whom are family and friends, yet not learned how to see their inner struggle with their "good wolf" self. We all have this struggle and only when you can identify this triggering process within yourself will you see it in others and be able to make allowances for them, responding in ways that bring out their inner "good wolf," that enable them to switch back to their better self all the faster. To do this you must have let go of your own inner masks, you must know yourself as you really are, all illusions down. For those who fool themselves are easily fooled. Those who know themselves and learn how to become their best self can know and guide others to achieve the same. Paranoia can be beaten when you realise where you are and the battle you are waging.
"Alba.. who is afraid of the big, bad wolf? You will be when you find it alive within you and governing your world. Yet fear not. The good wolf is in there too, and when you learn to call it day and night, it will save you."
