While a man was polishing his brand new car, his four years old son picked a stone and scratched some lines on the side of the car. ANGERLY, the man took the child’s hand and started hitting it many times, not realizing that he was using an iron 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 the car and kicked it a lot of times. With the tears in his eyes and devastated by his actions, he sat beside the car, when suddenly his eyes fell over the scratches that his child had written: “LOVE YOU DAD” the child wrote.
The next day that man committed suicide….
ANGER and LOVE have no limits – please choose the latter to have a beautiful and lovely life, and DO NOT let your ANGER control your actions, otherwise you will regret latter, and always remember that: THINGS are to be USED and PEOPLE are to be LOVED, but not the other way around…

I was so lucky to have a man, with such good manners, like him. He was stubborn, but that was due to the life experiences he gained by himself, he used to be alone in this life, that is why most of time he listens to the voice of his head. His dad died when he was too young, maybe after six months of his born, and his mom died while he was out of the country searching for his living. He used to struggle all along his life course, and still struggling, but this time against illness, which put him down helpless on bed. I have realized his compassion too late, and I regret for the old days that I used to spent away from his accompany.
I am sorry dad for whatever words or actions I have said or done that made you upset, I am sorry for not being near…
I wish that, and until the end of time, Mighty God gives you peace and bless…
Your eternal loving and sincere son,
Tareq
