Bad temper and anger

Pepser was a child who did not have good morals.  His father gave him a box of nails and said that every time you get angry, you should hammer a nail into the wall.  On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into the wall.

  Over the course of a few weeks, as he learned how to control his anger, the number of nails hammered into the wall decreased.  He realized that controlling his anger is easier than hammering nails into the wall…

 Finally, a day came when the boy was no longer angry.  He told this to his father, and his father suggested that he remove one of the nails from the wall every time he can control his anger.

 Days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that he had removed all the nails from the wall.  The father took the boy's hand and took him to the wall and said:

  "My son!  You did a good job and you were able to overcome anger.  But look at the holes in the wall.  The wall will not be the same as before.  When you say words when you are angry, those words also leave such effects. 

 You can put a knife in a human heart and take it out.  But apologizing thousands of times is no use either;  That wound is in its place.
