When a wolf realizes it is losing a fight against another and understands there is no chance of victory, it makes an unexpected decision: it peacefully offers its jugular to the opponent, as if saying, “I have lost, let’s end this.” But at that very moment, something astonishing happens.
The victorious wolf, instead of delivering the final blow, freezes. An ancient force holds it back—a silent, instinctive law. Something embedded in its DNA, or perhaps beyond it, whispers that the survival of the species is more important than the satisfaction of eliminating its rival.
What a magnificent natural mechanism: no cowardice in the one who surrenders, no mercy in the one who stops. Just a perfect balance. There is no winner or loser. Both wolves walk away, and the cycle of life continues.
