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.
Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to others but as the time passes by, we realise that we have caused more harm to ourselves.
For a happy life, it's best we should ignore & overlook things, people, incidents, affairs & matters.
It is not necessary that we show a reaction to everything. Step back & ask urself if the matter is really worth responding to .
People that show no inclination to change, are best handled with silence & prayer.
