It never happen before

Last night , I was caught in a massive jam and it has never happen before . So jammed pack until I cannot move when return home last night .  I kept grumbling and scolding in the air and only in the morning , I understood .  The whole town was flooded  and the highway was the main road leading to the town centre.

Suddenly, I remember of a story of  a man who is always very angry with things and one day, his father asked him to put a nail on the fence each time he gets angry.  In a week, he saw that he has nailded 100 nails on the fence and run to his father and tell him.  His father told him to remove each nail from the fence if he is not angry.  In the next one week, he could removed all the nails from the fence and he ran to tell his father .  His father took him to the fence and show him all the holes on the way. The man have became more patience and not so hot temper in the process but the father told him that what is said will leave a mark in people's heart.  Each scolding or strong remarks will leave a nail hole on the wall as if in the heart of the people , he has scolded .

We can say all the things we want but have to be aware that each remarks have a consequence and it is very hard to remove it. So , when it is jammed and you feel very angry for being unable to move, you better remember this story and keep your temper down.  I know it is impossible but it has to be done.

Namaste.
