Think . . . |
Think . . .
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.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s
hands into a 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 and 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 and committed suicide.
Think about the story the next time you see someone spilled milk at a
dinner table or hear a baby cry. Think first before you lose your patience
and become angry with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired.
Broken bones and hurt feelings often cannot. Too often we fail to recognize
the difference between the person and the performance. People make mistakes.
We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage
will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient..
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE CRUEL . . .

To be a adroit human being is to be enduring a make of openness to the mankind, an cleverness to guardianship uncertain things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly important about the prerequisite of the principled life: that it is based on a conviction in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something fairly dainty, but whose acutely particular attraction is inseparable from that fragility.

A gink begins scathing his wisdom teeth the initially time he bites out more than he can chew.
