Been writing on this board for awhile, and in maybe an off topic thread, which I hope won't be taken away, I just wanted to say 'Sorry'.
Sorry if I hurt, insulted, harmed or offended any poster, if by intention or if by accident.
All our doings are written down, and when it's time to look back, it's never to late to say 'sorry'.
Which reminds me of the old story I once heard:
Once upon a time there was a young boy who was bad tempered. He was often rude, aggressive and disrespectful towards his surrounding.
His father decided one day to make him repent in an original way. He bought him a bag of nails- "You see, son?" he asked, "every time you lose your calm, or hurt or harm anyone, hammer a nail in our wooden fence, so you'll see that each time your anger takes over, it has consqeuences."
The boy did so. the first 3 days he nailed over 30 nails a day. The following days, he saw that the fence is quickly filled with nails, so he forced himself to stay calm. When the days kept passing, each day the amount of nailes being hammered in the fence, was reduced.
Till no nailes were hammered in the 20th day.
The father saw this and say, "Now son, each time you can hold down your tamper, I want you to pull out a nail."
So the child did so, and each day he pulled the nails out of the fence, till none were left.
The father and son stood infront of the fence, all clean, and the father called to his young son, "See? look how wonderful! the fence is totally clean from nails!" he grinned, so proud of the boy, "you did it!"
The child stood there, his face blank, and suddenly, he burst out crying. "Why are you crying, son?" the father asked in sympathy, "look, all the nails are out!"
"But daddy!" the boy wailed, "the holes! what about the holes?"
