Think before you act

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his astonishment, his three year old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint.  The man  ran to his son and knocked him away. Blinged with rage, he hammered the little boy's hands into a pulp as punishment. When the child started howling in agony, he realized what he had done and rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finaly had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandage 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 & committed Suicide.

 

Think before you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. 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.

SO ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU ACT !!!!!!!
