Robert
belonged to a good and wealthy family. His parents had never kept him with deficit
of anything. Likewise, he never had any bad habit but his behaviour was snotty,
due to which he lost his temper in small things and revile to others.
Due
to his behaviour, complaints came from neighbours and school, so his
father got tensed. One day, his father called him and told sweetly- Son,
whenever you get anger, you must pluck one leaf from nearby tree or plant and
while plucking leaf; think, what is the reason of your anger? Remember, do this
with full honesty. I will ask daily that how many times you get steamed up?
Then you give me that much leaves.
Robert
was satisfied by his father’s words.
First
day, Robert had angered thirty times then after asking by his father he gave thirty
leaves to his father. His father kept those leaves silently, without saying a
single word. Day by day number of leaves was decreasing.
Firstly,
when Robert angered then he plucked leaves without thinking anything; but after
some days whenever he angered, then during plucking leaf he remembered his
father’s words, at that instant he found the weakness of his behaviour and the
reason of his anger. Gradually he got command on his anger, and one day he didn’t
give any leaf to his father.
After
so many weeks, when he didn’t give any leaf to his father, then again his
father called him and said- Now go and splice all these plucked leaves to their
plants, which you gave me.
Listening
this, Robert surprisingly asked- How is this possible? They are now soulless
and I exactly don’t remember that which leaf belongs to which plant or tree!
Then
his father explained him- Robert, now these leaves can never connect to plants,
because they are dead. In the same way, on those whom you did anger, their
relations with you must have been affected, so your relations with them would
have become soulless. You have not remembered with whom and when you misbehaved;
but to those whom you did anger, would have remembered.
On
that day, Robert completely realised his mistake, felt guilty and committed
never to get angry without any reason.
Dear
friends, In daily life we deal with our daily problems and get steamed up
due to small talks by which our image become lackluster and stress comes in our
relations. Keep patience on your anger and don’t get angry without any reason. If
sometimes anger comes, then suddenly keep aside your ego and apologize for your
bad behaviour and bring sweetness in your relations. Thank You.
