An important Life Lesson on Letting Go off Anger!

 once

there was a little boy

who had a very bad temple

everyone had started to complain about 

him

so his father decided to give him a bag

of nails and told him son every time you lose your temper you must hammer a nail into the back of this fence the boy agreed the first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence the next day he drove some more but as he started growing aware of his temper his temper started to subside

over the next few weeks

he learned to control his anger

and the number of nails hammered began

to come down

he eventually discovered that it was

easier to hold on to his temper

than to drive those nails into the fence

finally the day came when the boy did

not

lose his temper at all

he told his father about this so the father suggested that the boy should now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper the days passed

and the young boy was finally able to

tell his father

that all the nails were gone

the father then took his son by the hand

and led him to the fence

he said

you have done well my son

but look at the holes in this fence

this fence will never be the same

anymore

when you say things in anger

they leave a scar just like this one

you can put a knife in a man and draw it

out

it won't matter how many times you say

i'm sorry

the wound is still going to be there

the little boy then understood

how powerful his words have been

he looked up at his father

and said

i hope you can forgive me father for the holes that i put in you

the father hugged him and said of course my son i can like a bullet that has been shot can never return to the gun the hurt because another can never be undone no matter how many times we apologize words can never be taken back we may find ourselves in frustration or anger many times during a day but we must be careful that whatever we say or do in those moments won't pierce the hearts of people we love
