We all have had a kind of conversation inside our head while we try to do something. Part of us encourages us to do it and the other part tires to prevent us from doing it. We may call it good and bad parts, positive and negative parts, angel and evil parts of ourselves or whatnot. There is an ongoing conversation between these two parts which helps us to make a better choice, although sometimes the good part wins and sometimes the bad part wins.
I got the idea of writing about this topic when I listened to a poet who composed a very nice poem related to this subject. He said that once a wise man told that there is a wolf inside each of us. A permanent fight takes place between this wolf and our own self. Physical strength can not help us in order to win this battle. Only our wisdom can help us. There have been so many masculine and hefty men who were defeated by the wolves inside of them while there were so many feeble and skinny men who conquered the wolf.
We must defeat this wolf until we are young otherwise it would get more powerful as we grow older then It would be so hard to overcome the wolf. Every one who can defeat the wolf he/she will become a pure person on the other hand if someone loses the battle to wolf he/she will turn to a wolf although they look like humans in the appearance.
The reason people are fighting with each other is because they let themselves to be led by these wolves inside of them, as a result they can not understand those who fostered the humanity part and killed their wolves.
Let’s try to overcome the brutality inside of us and have mercy towards our kinds. Let’s defeat this wolf inside of us.

In a pragmatic way , sometimes we have to let the wolf take charge to fight the wolves outside . But , nonetheless , this is a good exemplar description of the implicit pessimism in human beings.
Unfortunately, they may not be aware that they have been defeated by the 'wolf inside them'.
Dear Beethoven, thanks for your encouragement.
Dear Ratu, thanks for your comment.
Dear Caro, you are right. Unfortunately we have forgotten how to treat eachother as human beings.
Dear Coral, if I get to believe that there are still so many nice people and you also think in this way then the world would be full of people who assume others as nice one
