One night a snake found its way inside a hardware store.
Slithering around, it bumped into a handsaw lying on the ground.
Sharp teeth of the saw sliced into the skin of the snake, inflicting upon a bloody wound in its body.
Thinking that it was a threat, the snake immediately bit the saw with ferocity and got a deep cut inside its mouth.
Hissing with anger, assuming the saw an enemy, the snake immediately attacked it and wrapped its whole body around the same.
By instinct, the snake started applying gradual pressure for suffocating the saw. Obviously, it couldn't do any damage to it.
Instead, got badly injured by the teeth of the saw and bled to death.
The snake got itself killed by own anger, by its own reaction, thinking that there was something out there to get it.
Same thing happens in our life also. We think that others have hurt us. They are trying to get us. And we react with anger and resentment.
While doing so, we carry the burden of a lot of negative energy within that hurt us only -- not the other person.
In life, we must let go the negativity and treat others with compassion and dignity. There could be a compelling reason behind someone misbehaving.
Forgive, forget and get rid of anger to look at life with a new perspective for creating the best out of it.
