Your Words Are Like Nails In a Gate

Have you ever said something in a moment of pure anger, and instantly wished you could take it back? We often think that apologizing erases the damage of our anger. But does it? In this powerful Buddhist story, a young monk named Ananda struggles to control his fiery temper. To teach him a lesson, his Master gives him a heavy hammer and tells him to drive a nail into the temple's beautiful wooden gate every single time he loses his temper. What Ananda discovers when he finally learns to hold his anger and pulls the nails back out will completely change how you view your own words. You can apologize a thousand times, but a verbal wound leaves a scar just like a physical one. If you struggle with a quick temper, snapping at loved ones, or dealing with the regret of harsh words, this short inspirational story is for you. 👇 Let's support each other!
