Scratches

Scratches

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4-year-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 of 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"


Anger and Love have no limits; choose Love to have a beautiful,
lovely life

Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But the problem in today's world is that,
People are often used and things are loved.

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

It was a horrible story. Yet, the
principle was so true.

Do parents hit their kids with wrenches and permanently damage
them? Vicious child abuse definitely happens but there is a
child abuse that is far more frequent and prevalent.

A billboard that was around the city had these words:

"Words Hit As Hard As A Fist!"

...or a wrench.

It is immediately evident the cruelty of hitting a child with a
wrench and permanently damaging them. But what about the cruelty
of words? Words when spoken in rage, frustration or just plain
meanness can permanently damage the self-image of child.


It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword but the pen
is simply the extension of the tongue.

Watch your words. They can be more dangerous and devastating
that a sword.
