This is a true story which happened in the States.
A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement,
his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint
of the truck.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's
hands into pulp as punishment.
When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although
the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had
to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.
When the boy woke up from the surgery; saw his bandaged stubs, he
innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked,
"but when are my fingers going to grow back?"
The father went home; committed suicide.
"Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u
wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with
someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones; hurt feelings
often can't."
"Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and
the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge."
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. "But the actions
we take while in a rage will haunt us forever".
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget".
