please read the story and arguing its content

There was a boy who was always losing his temper. His father gave him a bag full of nails
and said to him, “My son, I want you to hammer a nail into our garden
fence every time you need to direct your anger against something and you lose your temper.”

So the son started to follow his father’s advice. On the first day he
hammered in 37 nails, but getting the nails into the fence was not
easy, so he started trying to control himself when he got angry.
As the days went by, he was hammering in less nails, and within weeks he was able
to control himself and was able to refrain from getting angry and from hammering nails.
He came to his father and told him what he had achieved. His father was
happy with his efforts and said to hi “But now,
my son, you have to take out a nail for every day that you do not get angry.”
The son started to take out the nails for
each day that he did not get angry, until there were no nails left in the fence.

He came to his father and told him what he had achieved. His father took him to the
fence and said, “My son, you have done well, but look at these holes in the fence. This
fence will never be the same again.” Then he adde “When you say
things in a state of anger, they leave marks like these holes on the hearts
of others. You can stab a person and withdraw the knife but it doesn’t matter how many times
you say ‘I’m sorry,’ because the wound will remain.
