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, and 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.
