The cobra and the carpenter...
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 very 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 a reaction to everything. Step back and ask yourself if the matter is really worth responding or reacting to....."
