Things are to be used People are to be loved.

This is a story which many of us would have heard or read before. I thought of sharing it on my blog because I'm also a person who gets uncontrollable anger sometimes. When we are angry we never care for personal feelings, please try to remember this story whenever you get angry. It is very difficult to regain a broken relation or a broken heart. It is almost impossible to rectify some of our mistakes related to hurt feelings. Lets try to have patience at all times of our lives. Here comes the story...

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 year old son picked up a 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 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’.

The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life & remember this:

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.


The problem in today’s world is that people are used while things are loved.

Think about the story the next time when you get angry on someone or you see a baby crying. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Broken bones, hurt feelings and a broken heart can't be fixed always.

We are allowed to make mistakes, but the actions that we take while in a rage will haunt us forever

Let’s try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.
