A glass of water to restart
Once there was a man working as a clerk in a Bank and always had a busy day. He used to get angry upon seeing too many people asking too many questions. He met different kind of people everyday. He was always annoyed. As usual, once, on a busy day he was annoyed at the customers. He showed his annoyance to all the customers verbally.
There was an old lady who submitted the form, the form was filled with a lot of mistakes and the clerk shouted at the lady. A man from the queue brought a glass of cool water from the cooler to the clerk and asked the clerk to drink it as he was talking to everyone. The clerk was surprised for a moment and he drank the water. The clerk was relaxed and his anger melted somehow. The day ended.
The customer who bought the water for the clerk and the clerk himself went back to their respective homes. As soon as he reached his home, the clerk realised that things were different when he was calm. After sometime the clerk figured out the contact number of the gentleman who gave him water at work and gave him a call. The man answered the call and the clerk thanked him. The person at the other end was surprised to hear from the clerk. The man asked why was he being thanked?
The clerk said when he reached his home his mother and wife were arguing. It was a
routine for his mother and wife to keep fighting. The clerk gave some water to drink to his wife and his mother. Both of them drank the water and calmed down and quickly the intensity of the situation settled.The clerk realised when anger is handled with love and care it settles things.
Everything can be fought back the best in the same kind, but not anger
Anger must be treated with love and kindness
