USED vs LOVED

This is among the most meaningful notes you will probably ever read on Facebook, a bit long but a must read. I do not acknowledge whether it's true or not, but it's so relevant for the times of today, enjoy!



USED vs LOVED




While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and 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?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . . Anger and Love have no limits...... 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... During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved... Be yourself....This is the only day we HAVE.

If you don't pass this on to anyone, nothing bad will happen; if you do, you will have treated someone....this is significant!!

      SO VERY TRUE THE STATEMENT THIS MAKES.

      Sadly if in fact true, the Father's selfish act of committing suicide would only further cause addition grief, pain and suffering to the child. Something he'd surely carry throughout his life (feel...ing somehow responsible for his Father's death). The visible disability he'd now be plagued to live with would only serve to be a constant reminder of his trauma.

      The Father would have better served his son by seeking counsel to aid in his parenting and anger, aimed at healing the emotional scars he may have caused.

      The child being so very young in age would allow him to have a certain resiliency of bouncing back from this. Traumatic events/accidents don't tend to have the same level of impact on the memory bank as that of an adults having the same experience.

      We only need look to our own memories to see what we retain and how we interpret the scenario. If we look to our earliest of memories formed we recall portions, segment of having experienced an injury or traumatic event. Yet the level to which we recall pain is faded or dimmed for our internal healing mechanisms take hold to allow for us to cope. It's a natural survival instinct inbred in us all. Similar circumstances occurring in our adult years hold a much more profound effect on remembering the level of pain with which we felt at the time. This being due to us having the survival instinct, it serves as a warning to us as to what we want to not have happen again...

      Don't you agree?
