USED vs. LOVED

USED vs. LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr 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.  
Let's try always to keep this thought in mind:  

Things are to be used, People are to be loved.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I liked it in a strange way. Its most deffinaly one not to read when your depressed though. All i could think is wow he not only hurt his son but cursed him to never have a father again. ITs a true thing though just very sad

I think prevention of mistakes has a lot to do with respecting the others even when we bleive that they are wrong.

o no theres no dout in my mind that what you say is true and with a good meaning. It seems we are cursed in this life to suffer and suffer we must. But when that man killed himself  my heart sank for i could see some one doing that after all of that and it seems life enjoys throwing us as many spiked foul balls as possible hoping theyll hit us.

in this story respect is kinda not in the question do you blame the son for it all because he grabed the rock. Do you curse the father because he fail his son or is the world just fuked up and nothing we do will change the roll.

You can roll the dice today and you may not get the snake eyes but watch out because its there and its coming no matter how long it takes

No rahim not entirly correct if they are wrong and it is important without injuring them if you can help it , you fight you do not lay down and let it happen ......respect has nothing to do with fighting for beliefs , by fighting I mean in every way except Physical wher possible .Once again we differ.....

Please don't gard on me,you took me wrong dear, I am a figther for cause myself, with is important is we shoudn't see others as our enemies we all are comeing from the same source we are able to comunicate and let our logic improves and remember even when you are right, your harsh act may change the right to the other side if you know what I mean.

I'm was agreeing with you till that last statement.  I think that was a little far

on the other hand we all effect each other wheather we want to or not. So we must try our hardest to be good to others

Margy
