Guest guest Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father wanted to nip it in the bud and gave him a bag of nails and told to hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over few weeks, 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 he told his father about it and the father suggested to pull out the nails. The young boy was 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. 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 worse than physical one. The physical wound may heal, but a verbal wound would never heal. Show your Love how much you care. `YOU ARE MY LOVE AND I CARE Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in Your fence.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
