Just read The Star on 'Speaking their minds' with a cartoon showing a child asking his father, "Hey dad I wanted to ask you..."
Before he could even complete his sentence, his dad retorted, "Quiet, son! Trying to read about what young people have to say..." while holding the newspapers! How ironic!
This is not the cartoon, but close enough!
But the following story had a tragic end:
Materials can be restored or replaced but not feelings hurt...
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked 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 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 very 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 the car he looked at the scratches .... the child had written
'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide....
Moral of the story:
THINGS are meant to be USED and PEOPLE are to be LOVED, but the problem of today's world is that...
People are USED. & Things are LOVED!
