The Power of Love and Anger

The Power of Love and Anger

While a man was polishing his car, his 4 year old son picked up a rock and started to scratch lines onto the sides of his car. In anger, the man took the child’s hand and began hitting it several times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all of 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 started to kick it several times.

Devastated by his own actions…sitting in front of his car he looked at the scratches…his son had written. His son had scratched the words “I LOVE YOU DAD.” The next day the man committed suicide.

Anger and Love have no limits and are both very powerful emotions. Here are several things that we should always remember…

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.  

Let’s be careful to keep this thought in mind; THINGS are to be USED, but PEOPLE need to be LOVED.

Do you LOVE THINGS more and USE PEOPLE or do you LOVE PEOPLE more and USE THINGS?

Watch your THOUGHTS; they become WORDS.

Watch your WORDS; they become ACTIONS.

Watch your ACTIONS they become HABITS.

Watch your HABITS; they become your CHARACTER.

Watch your CHARACTER; it becomes your DESTINY.
