"Wolf Boy"


This week I met my landlord for the first time.


We scheduled a meeting to discuss what needed to be fixed in the house.


Prior to the meeting, I was thinking about how I would demand a few things from her.


I was already playing an aggressive scenario in my head.


“You need to fix the thing in the kitchen”


“You need to do this…”


the wolf boy is me

Luckily, the night before I had been reading the book “How to have a meeting with God, Buddha, Allah” by Teacher Woo Myung.


I want to get along better with people.

In one of the chapters, it says:


“Compliment others, then they will like you”.

Woo Myung also says:


“Always be humble and sincere; when you have these minds, others will like you”.


At the last minute, prior to my landlord stepping foot in her house, I remembered these words and decided not to attack.

Our meeting went surprisingly well.


I said one compliment to her.


And we laughed.


She said she would install a heat pump for the house.


Everything panned out with a nice flow.


Upon reflection, I can see I am a “wolf-fighter”. He’s always there inside.


Fortunately, Woo Myung’s words are here to quieten the wolf boy.
