Power of controlling emotions

[Music]
once upon a time there lived a young boy
in a small town the boy had a very short
temper and used to shout at anybody
anytime and anywhere he would not think
for a second before opening his mouth in
anger and start using abusive and
offensive
language everyone used to dislike him
for his impulsive and rude
Behavior his parents were deeply
troubled by his bad temper they tried
various methods to help him manage his
anger and improve his behavior but all
their efforts were in vain the boy was
aware of his anger issues but he could
never control his temper when things did
not go his way one day his father came
to him and handed over a bag full of
nails and a hammer the boy got very
confused his father then said
my son you have a very short temper why
don't you hammer a nail in the fence
every time you get
angry at first the boy found it
hilarious but then he agreed and took
the bag full of
nails now every time he would get angry
he would run towards the fence and
hammer a nail in the
fence on the first day he hammered 30
Nails into the
fence by the second day he he had
hammered 28 more
Nails after a week the fence had about
150
Nails as days passed he became more
aware of his anger and gradually the
number of nails he hammered each day
started to
decrease eventually there came a day
when he did not Hammer any nail at all
he realized that it was easier to
control his anger than to drive a nail
into the fence the boy went to his
father and told him that several days
has passed and he has not hammered any
nail in the
fence the father said you have learned
to control your temper now remove the
nail every time as you control your
anger the boy agreed and began to pull
in nail out each day he was calm and did
not lose his temper a few days later
when all the nails were pulled out of
the fence
the boy happily went to his father and
told him about it the father appreciated
the son and took him near the fence then
the father asked the son pointing to the
holes in the fence what do you see there
the son replied there are holes in the
fence then father said Son you had a
very short temper but you learn to
control it but look at this fence it
still has holes in it that can never be
fixed like before the fence never look
the same it has cars all over it the boy
started to listen closely to his father
the father continued you often said
harsh things to people in Anger which
has left a deep impact on them these
impacts are like scars to them which
they will remember forever therefore
never UT harsh words in anger because
although you may forget what you said
but the pain inflicted by your words can
l a
lifetime if we see in our daily lives we
will see that just like the boy in the
story we often face situations that make
us react
impulsively if we don't control our
anger we might say or do things that we
later regret the nails in the fence
symbolize the heart we cause to others
with our words or actions removing the
nail represents the effort needed to
heal the damage caused by our actions
scars in the fence symbolize that while
external injuries heal over time but the
wounds caused by harsh shorts can stay
fresh for a long time moreover anger is
such a fire that burns us first and then
spread to others when we are angry our
mind becomes clouded and we cannot think
clearly what is right and what is wrong
anger makes our mouth work faster than
our mind many times violence happen in
the Heat of the Moment interestingly
most of the people in the prison are not
professional criminals but ordinary
individuals who could not control their
anger for a brief
moment the main lesson of the story is
to be more self-aware and control our
emotions it reminds us to think before
we speak consider the sequences of our
anger and choose our words carefully it
teaches us to develop patience empath and understanding knowing that once we
say something we can't take it back so
whenever you feel that anger is taking
over you remember that anger not only hurts others and leaves permanent scars on their hearts but it may also lead to violence and you may have to regret later if you can control yourself in those heated moments you will be thankful ler for keeping your emotions in check that's why it is wisely said that a moment of patience in a moment of anger can save you from a 100 moments of Sorrow
