Once, a man named Mohan lived in a tiny village. In this village, there was only one tailor. His name was Mohan. He used to stitch the villagers' clothes and earn a good income. As days passed, he became arrogant and rude to the customers. When some villagers told him he did not do the work right, he got angry and told them to get out of his shop. His ego was growing way too big, but the villagers couldn’t do anything because he was the only tailor who knew how to stitch.
One day, a lady and her son came to the village for work. She knew how to stitch, so she went to Mohan asking for a job working for him. Mohan refused her. She thought of buying a machine to start stitching the villagers' clothes. So she found other work, saved up and bought a sewing machine. Now, she started stitching the clothes of the villagers. She was very polite and talked to her customers all the time. Her customers thought her work was excellent. Now, everyone was going to that lady for stitching, and Mohan’s business almost ended.
One day, when Mohan didn’t earn a single rupee from stitching, Mohan’s wife went to meet the lady. She said, “Since you opened your shop, no one has come to my husband’s shop. I want you to sell your shop to me.” The lady agreed and sold her shop for fifty thousand dollars.
Mohan was so angry at the other woman for taking his customers that he burned her shop. When Mohan’s wife saw this, she came running over to Mohan and said, “You fool! The lady just sold this shop to us for fifty thousand dollars. You just burned down your own shop!” Mohan, after listening to this, sat down, put his hands on his head, and said nothing.
Moral: Anger doesn’t solve anything, but it can destroy everything.
