A Hole in the Fence(continued)
One day, the boy said to his father, “Now I can control my anger.
I won’t hammer any more nails into the fence from now on!”
“Good for you, son.
Now pull out a nail when you control your anger,” said his father.
“OK. That’ll be a piece of cake,” said the boy.
Several days passed and most of the nails were gone.
However, there were a few nails that the boy could not pull out.
He told his father about it.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
He pointed a finger at a hole and asked his son, “What do you see there?”
The boy answered, “A hole in the fence.”
The father said, “The nails were your bad temper.
You can pull them out, but the holes are still in the fence.
And some nails cannot even be pulled out.
You can hurt someone and say sorry later.
But it’s too late.
The wound is still in the person’s heart, just like the hole.
Sometimes words are more painful than punches or kicks.”
