Do not hurt yourself

One night a snake while it was looking for food, entered a carpenter̢۪s workshop.



The carpenter, who was a rather untidy man, had left several of his tools lying on the floor. One of them was a saw. As the snake went round and round the shop, he climbed over the saw, which gave him a little cut.



At once, thinking that the saw was attacking him, he turned around and bit it so hard that his mouth started to bleed. This made him very angry. He attacked again and again until the saw was covered with blood and seemed to be dead.



Dying from his own wounds, the snake decided to give one last hard bite then turned away. The next morning the carpenter was surprised to find a dead snake on his doorstep.

Lesson to Learn:

Sometimes in trying to hurt others, we only hurt ourselves..

very true Story.... We see this everyday in our day to day life..Ego, pride and other factors make a person hurt another.. be it intentionaly or unintentionally... some people jus wan to show they are witty or mayb superior and others just want to take sides but the end result is a damaged relationship, broken hearts and lots of discourged feelings with bruised egos :(

I really wan every person to read this story... this way we all wil learn somthing beautiful in life and mayb our conscience would stop us the next time we try to act smart and try to hurt or put them down in front of others :)

Thanks for the awesome story... :)
