Meaningful email

A meaningful email from a friend that I would love to share.
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a 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?'Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions..... . sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.The next day that man committed suicide. . .
Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful & lovely life....
Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But the problem in today's world is that,
People are used and things are loved.......
Same thing happen to me in Manila, I bought a brand-new car and everytime it has scratches my friends will tell me 'Myla you don't know how to take care of your car.' Then in a traffic jam a passenger Toyota FX tried to make a U-turn to avoid the unmoving traffic I moved forward & when he backed without looking around his vehicle, he hit me. As usual my family & friends asked me why I didn't complain... I could get some money to fix it they say. I simply replied 'He is a driver, working hard to earn a living he couldn't
afford to fix my car.' They said 'The operator will.'
What I want to say is, why are we so concerned about cars, protecting it when it should be the one protecting us? Why are they so concerned about the scratches where we should be grateful that it was a shield for me? Why do fathers spending time to wash their cars and polish it where that time should be spent playing with his kids? -
wah if im the dad i will go crazy leh
-
Pffft.
What an irresponsible father.
When the child grows up, he will regret all his life for causing his dad's death.

Sometimes we can learn from bad lessons in life, it's a matter of perspective. Instead of just feeling sad should we not be looking at the true meaning of the story?
What I have learnt
Sometimes we put our pirorities in places that are not where they should be and end up hurting the ones that we should be placing our pirorities on.
