.: Do fingers grow back? :.
I read this piece somewhere on the net and can’t control my anguish.
Will folks ever learn the lesson, I wonder!
A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s hands into a pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy’s hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I’m sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “but when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father went home and committed suicide.
Think about the story the next time you see someone spilled milk at a dinner table or hear a baby cry. Think first before you lose your patience and become angry with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often cannot. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY, BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE CRUEL…
Daddies beware!
Christina Aguilera, the singing superstar has hauled her cruel father over the coals for having made her childhood a nightmare. She explains it vividly in her latest album Stripped. The number is ironically labeled, “I’m ok”!
Many parents are abominably stupid in making the childhood experience of their children a veritable hell.
These lines from the song bear testimony to the agony and the trauma that she, as a hapless child had undergone!
“The echo of a broken child screaming “please no more”
Daddy, don’t you understand the damage you have done
To you it’s just a memory, but for me it still lives onBruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterdayIt’s not so easy to forget
All the lines you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day I’m afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see there”
The basic right!
The indifference and selfishness of adults rob the children of their basic right - the right to be children!
Please, for heaven’s sake, allow children to be themselves!
The greatest and most enduring gifts that the parents can offer to the children are love, wisdom and courage!
You have no right to harm infants!
A revealing story appeared in a newspaper today stating that the King of pop Michael Jackson has turned his back on his father Joseph when he was in deep financial distress and had to sell his house to settle his dues.
So did his sister Janet.
Why?
The children could not simply forgive their dad for the way they had been treated by him when they were young. The old man had been so hard on them, as the story goes, that the scars are too deep to heal by time.
Moral of the story:
Be nice to children as they grow up, so that they�ll be nice to you in turn when you are grown too old to help yourself!
And you as parents (and the teachers too) have no right to inflict corporal punishment on the children - physically or mentally. The children are merely born through you and you don�t own them as such.
They represent the future and you can�t afford to harm the future of the planet. Period.
