USED vs LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father..... with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions..... . sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today's world is that people are used while things are loved.

Let's try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder..
I hope you have a good day no matter what problems you may face
it's the only day you'll have before it's over.

we should always look for the reality rather other unreal things,because the real,true things always stays while the so called plastics fade away from life

It is a true story in different form in my place. One father killed his child just because his son eats away the Samosa while bringing it from the market. These kinds of things happen either due to anger or due to scarcity. The scarcity to that extends that looses his mind. The human being is created from the five basic physical elements and governed by the mind, thought, ego and nature that he derived from his environment and culture. By nature, human being always works with some expectation. He became anger if didn't get the expected result and if it is out of control than he looses his senses to do any thing. Many of us are partially or fully out of control in theory of expectations. It is not easy to control your mind and senses. Let us make the life simple by doing jobs with out expectation and thinking positively for the self, for the family, for the society, for the nation and for the Universe.

this story makes us realise that we are so involved in calculating losses in terms of money that we forget our losses in terms of love

it should be a true incident which has happened elsewhere...lets try to make sure it doesn't happen with us or known ones..

Its a great insight to all with Morals & love but over weighing themselves with materialistic objectives.

Thanks Mr. Krishna...its very valuable

The sad reality. We tend to use our things and devices with passion, love and care
and handle roughly our colleagues and family. Once again it is failure on our part to prioritise our time between work and family.

Its a nice story. And hope and pray, it should not be consider as a story alone, and get practice from all, and increase the mankind and human value.

Never choose material stuff over the love of a person. The material stuff can be replaced but the hurt imposed on a person can never be erased. Thanks for the referral.
