The scars of anger

When your life seems like a bad movie or a crazy nightmare, refuse to be angry with God or man! It was Waris Dirie who wrote " I love life, i wish i could live another 500years, truly. There is so much to do. I am very grateful for where i come from. I have absolutely no regrets."

Don't forget the story of the young boy whose father taught a lesson about bad temper. So the father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail in their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy hammered 40 nails into the fence. Within a few weeks, the little boy began to control his anger, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence reduced drastically! It wasn't long before the little boy discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence!

Then, there came a day when the little boy never lost his temper for even once and as he was telling his father about his success over TEMPER/ANGER, the wise father asked him to pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper! Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

At that point, the proud father led the boy to the fence and said: "You have done very well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same! When u say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like the holes of the nails u removed. And no matter how many times u say u are sorry, the wounds will still be there." And the sober son was glued to that course lecture in the "UNIVERSITY OF ANGER!"

No wonder Thomas Jefferson said: " when angry, count to ten before u speak! If very angry, count to one hundred.
Remember the anger of a man is very cruel and can put a song of " had i known".
