A carpenter went home after shutting down his workshop.

When
he was gone, a poisonous snake entered his workshop. The snake
was hungry and hoped to find its supper lurking somewhere
within. It slithered from one end to another. Finally it bumped
into an axe and got very slightly injured. In angry and revenge,
the snake bit the snake with full force. What could a snake’s bite
do to the metallic axe? Instead the snake’s mouth started
bleeding.

Out of fury and arrogance, the snake tried its best to strangle and
kill the metallic axe - The object that was causing it the pain by
wrapping itself around the axe. The next day the carpenter
opened the workshop. He found the dead snake wrapped around
the blades of the axe. Here the snake did not die because of
someone’s fault.

But it faced these consequences merely because of its own anger

and wrath. Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to
others. But as time passes by, we realize that we caused more
harm to ourselves. It is not necessary that we react to
everything. Step back and ask ourselves if the matter is really
worth responding to.
