hile a man was polishing his new car, his 5 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.
When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his actions..... .sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .
Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life..... Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved... During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved. Be yourself.... This is the only day we HAVE. Have a nice day. Watch your thoughts; they become words; watch your words; they become actions; watch your actions; they become habits; watch your habits they become character; watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

 | Posted Jun 24th, 2009 at 10:48AM wow, what a lesson to be told with this little story. As parents we will never truly understand how well we have done as parents until we watch our own children grow up and have children of their own. Things like cars, boats, furniture toys can be replaced but words and actions spoken or acted upon in haste can't ever be taken away. Thank you for posting this story. |
