Manage Your Anger


As the carpenter went home after shutting down his workshop, a black poisonous cobra entered his workshop.The cobra was hungry & hoped to find its supper lurking somewhere within. It slithered from one end to another & finally bumped into an axe & got very slightly injured. 

In anger & revenge, the snake bit the axe with full force. What could a bite do to a metallic axe?
Instead the cobra's mouth started bleeding. Out of fury & arrogance, the cobra tried it's best to strangle & kill the object that was causing it pain by wrapping itself around the axe. 

The next day when the carpenter opened the workshop, he found a dead cobra wrapped around the axe blades. The cobra didn't die because of someone else's fault but faced these consequences merely because of it's own anger & wrath.

Lesson to learn !! 
Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to others but as the time passes by, we realize that we have caused more harm to ourselves.
