    Once a man went to a scholarly sage and asked him, " Master, why should we have a control over our words "

       The sage smiled and replied, " would you do me a favor ?" "yes" replied the man. Sage said , " Then go to the potter and get me a freshly prepared pot." The man then went to the potter and ordered him to make a pot starting from a hump of clay. The man returned to the sage after a month and gave him the pot . Sage after accepting the pot broke it by throwing it down on ground. The man replied back angrily, " Why did you ordered me to give you the pot when you wanted to just break it ? "

       The sage with a smile on his calm face explained, " It took a month for the potter to make this pot while on other hand I destroyed it in less than a second in the same way it takes a long time for your words to make yours relations as perfect as this pot but only a single word said in anger or frustration is enough to ruin all your relations you made in years.
