There was an old man, who lived in a village. The old man was angry much of
time and yelled at the people around him. He would holler at the mailman,
the milkman, and the butcher who ran the shop on main street. The angry,
bitter old man used to correspond with another man, who lived miles away.
The other man made a mistake, and offended the first man. The first man
ranted and raged, stormed, yelled, and refused to stop yelling. The man who
made the mistake apologized, sincerely, and tried to obtain forgiveness.
But, the first man would not forgive.
The second man sadly had to use a "mail filter". Instead of reading the
angry man's raging, he with great sadness discarded the first man's angry
letters, as they arrived. And, many did arrive.
A few months later, the first man had some troubles in his home. He was
still writing angry letters, and still kicking against anyone who disagreed.
The second man overheard from friends, that the first man was having trouble
with his electric range. He was sad, that anyone would have home repair
troubles. The second man knew just exactly what the problem was, and had
fixed a similar range, not long ago. The second man sadly realized, that any
contact with the first man would result in more angry outbursts, and would
not be read and taken seriously.
So, the angry old man continued to yell at the world, and the people who
could have helped stayed far away and threw his angry letters into the
trash. One final string of bad luck happened, the angry man's relatives all
left, his dog died. Angrily, he cursed G-d and died the horrible death that
could have been afforded to Job, of the Old Testament. As you treat others,
so the world shall treat you. That should come as no shock.
The world became more sad a place, due to the yelling.
