Anger

A True Story
A man purchased a new truck. While at home he felt like having another sight of his hard earned truck. He came out of his home and to his bewilderment, his youngest son was eagerly hammering dents into the truck body. The man ran to his son, pushed him away, and hammered the little boy's hand into a pulp as punishment.

When the father calmed down, and found his son in trauma he rushed  his son to the hospital. The doctor tried his level best to save the crushed bones but in vain. He finally had to amputate the fingers of both the boy's hands..

When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged hands, he innocently asked," Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck, but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home and committed suicide..!

Moral: A man is beyond the value of those things that make him angry. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feeling often can't... Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the things.

People make mistakes...
We are allowed to make mistakes..., But the actions we take while in a anger will haunt us forever... While in anger Pause and ponder…… Think about the consequences before you act...

  1. How correct. A pause before reaction can save a lot of embarrassment and regrets.
