The folly of unbridled temper

Nokia 6630

A man found his handphone missing and was absolutely furious. He caught the teenage culprit. Beat him up and when the handphone wasn’t found, he found the elder 17-year-old brother and gave him the same treatment. He used an iron bar and a wooden stick.

The boy’s mother when alerted by neighbours immediately called the police who bless their souls came almost immediately. He told the police about the theft but the police apprehended him anyway. They took him back to his house and a police officer called his number. The telephone rang. It was under his bed!

Remember, count to ten and then count some more when you are in a bad frame of mind. You may regret what you do later on. On a personal note, I always keep in mind what my mother told me. “Once you are angry, furious or whatever, you have already lost. Real man don’t need a hot temper to boost their courage. The real winner in life is the cool man. Every one will listen to you even though you may not shout or speak in a loud voice.”

    And I thought the story in your post sounded familiar. Celphone snatching is a common story nowadays. But forgetting that it’s just somewhere in your house and beating up boys is quite bothering.

    That was sad! It is really important to have a cool head and not be confrontational because that might even give you more trouble.
