A meaningful email from a friend that I would
love to share.
While a man was polishing his new car, his
4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of
the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & 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?'
Man was so hurt and speechless. He went
back to car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions..... . sitting in front of that car
he looked at the scratches, 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....
Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But the problem in today's world is that,
People are used and things are loved.......
Same thing happen to me in Manila, I bought a brand-new car
and everytime it has scratches my friends will tell me 'Myla
you don't know how to take care of your car.' Then in a
traffic jam a passenger Toyota FX tried to make a U-turn to
avoid the unmoving traffic I moved forward & when he
backed without looking around his vehicle, he hit me. As usual
my family & friends asked me why I didn't complain... I
could get some money to fix it they say. I simply replied 'He
is a driver, working hard to earn a living he couldn't
afford to fix my car.' They said 'The operator will.'
What I want to say is, why are we so concerned about cars,
protecting it when it should be the one protecting us? Why are
they so concerned about the scratches where we should be
grateful that it was a shield for me? Why do fathers spending
time to wash their cars and polish it where that time should
be spent playing with his kids?
it's too warped to be meaningful, hitting child with wrench,
losing all fingers, dad committing sucide ... doesn't seem
right
