Parable about nails

Veins-was one very quick-tempered and violent young man. And here once his father has given it a sack with nails and has punished each time when it will not constrain the anger, to hammer one nail into a fence column.

In the first day in a column there were some tens nails. On other week he has learnt to constrain the anger, and every day number of nails hammered into a column began to decrease. The young man has understood that it is easier to supervise the temperament, than to drive in nails.
