Before accusing others, read this story first

In a village there was a young man who was extremely good, but he had a fatal flaw: he often spoke rudely to others. His parents and friends always advised him, and he always said, "What's the big deal, it's just a few words, what's the big deal?" Then he still did what he wanted.

Once a monk came to the village, and the young man said a very disrespectful word to the monk, others criticized the young man, and the young man said with a strong voice: "It's just a few words, I'll apologize to him. The monk smiled at him and said to the young man, "Let me tell you a story!" Many people, including the young man, gathered around the monk, ready to listen to the monk tell a story. The monk began to tell the story after a pause.

There was a man who had a dog bear that he had picked up from the mountains since he was a child, and he kept the bear all the time. He was so angry that he picked up a stick and beat the bear, and scolded him at the same time: "The animal is always an animal, I have raised you for nothing. After the beating, he drove the bear out of the house.

The next day, he regretted it again, but the bear had already gone into the back of the mountain.

He regretted it, but he could never find the bear again. On one of his hunting trips to the mountains, he came across a tiger and closed his eyes as he was unarmed. Suddenly he heard the sound of a struggle, and he opened his eyes to see that the bear had returned. The bear drove the tiger away, and he went up to the bear happily and caressed him and said, "Great, does it still hurt from the last time I beat you? Come back with me!"

The bear said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, but what you said still hurts me, and it hurts a lot." Without looking back, the bear went back to the back of the mountain.

After the monk's story was finished, everyone was sighing that the words said would have such great harm, but the young man was a disdainful look, and the monk took a few nails out of his pocket and said to the young man, "Go and nail these nails to the tree." The young man did as the monk said, and nailed the nails to the tree.

Just as the young man went back, the monk said again, "Go and take down the nails." The young man did not say anything and went back to the tree to take down the nail. But the young man took half a day's effort and tossed various tools to remove a nail.

The monk came to the young man and pointed his finger at the nail and said, "If you pull it out, what can you do? Isn't there still a deep scar on the trunk of the tree? Just like the dog bear in that story, although the pain left by the stick has long disappeared, but the words that man said hurt it for life."

The monk looked at the young man again and continued, "Words that hurt others are like nails, and although you can get them back, the damage you leave on others is like the scars left on the tree by the nails that can never be removed."

Hearing this, the young man was suddenly enlightened and said, "I now finally understand how deep a harm it can be to others if you speak out of turn, thank you for your guidance." The monk nodded his head and said yes, then floated away.

The deepest harm to others in the world is always words. When we speak out against others, we are also putting nails into their hearts, and such harm can never be repaired.

Always cherish every word you say, because the damage caused by words to others can never be repaired.
