Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. (Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy 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 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 the fence. The fence will never be the same.
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 there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Really its very nice and educative also.
I wish if everyone of us starts to think like this and follow this concept then our country/world/earth will enter in SATYUG from KALYUG.
This is our hard luck that we are living in KALYUG ...
Although we are in KALYUG, yet we are breathing or living with respect as much as we can is only b'coz of people who believe in your story and follow the outcome of your story ...
Keep writing such things ...
Every story may make a good thought in any person b'coz there is nothing effectless.
Thanks & Regards,

We can correct mistakes but we cannot take back a word once it is released from our mouth however hard we try by saying sorry. We cannot heal the wound caused and the damage that can be caused by a harsh word will be very extensive.
Thank you for shairng!
Cheers!
