The Cobra in you!

As a carpenter went home after shutting down his workshop, a black poisonous cobra entered his workshop.The cobra was hungry and hoped to find its supper lurking somewhere within. It slithered from one end to another and accidentally bumped into a double-edged metal axe and got slightly injured.

*In anger and seeking 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 and arrogance, the cobra tried its best to strangle and kill the object that was causing it pain by wrapping itself very tightly around the blades.

*The next day when the carpenter opened the workshop, he found a seriously cut, dead cobra wrapped around the axe blades.*

The cobra died not because of someone Else's fault but faced these consequences merely because of its own anger and wrath.

*Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to others but as time passes by, we realise that we have caused more harm to ourselves.*

For a happy life, it's best we should learn to ignore and overlook some things, people, incidents, affairs and matters.

*It is not necessary that we show reaction to everything. Step back and ask ourselves if the matter is really worth responding or reacting to.*

Let us treat people with kindness even if they hurt us.

People that show no inclination to change, are best handled with silence and prayer.

Do remember:

*Stay away from Anger. It hurts only You!

*If you are right then there is no need to get angry,

*And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.
