A little boy was very angry. So his father gave him a bag full of nails and said that every time you get angry, one nail will be stuck in the wooden fence of our garden. On the first day, the boy had to go to the garden and hammer 37 nails.
Over the next few weeks the boy managed to get his anger under some control so the number of new nails in the wood each day also gradually decreased. He realized that controlling his anger was much easier than hammering nails into a wooden fence.
At last the day came when he did not have to drive a single nail. He told this to his father. His father was happy and told him now days when you can fully control your anger….
He, that boy, had opened the dead nails one by one in the previous days. Many days passed and one day the boy told his father that he had managed to remove all the nails. His father now took him to the garden and pointed to the wooden fence and said..
'You have done your work very well, now you can control your anger but look, the nail holes still remain in every wood. The wooden fence will never go back to its original state.
Conclusions: When you say something to someone in anger, it leaves a certain mark in his mind. So learn to control your anger. Emotional wounds are sometimes more dangerous than physical wounds.
