While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked a 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 an iron 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 very 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 ........... the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide.... Anger and Love have NO LIMIT - choose the latter to have a beautiful & lovely life.... THINGS are meant to be USED and PEOPLE are to be LOVED, ..but the problem of today's world is that... People are used. & Things are loved!!!

DISTANCE BETWEEN HEARTS!!!!
A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'
'But, why shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint.. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.
Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'
Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why?
Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small....'
The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'
MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words in anger that distance each other.
