Whom to control ?🤣🤣🤣

A couple of days ago a patient was screaming in the waiting area of my outpatient clinic. I went outside,pacified him and asked him”Why are you shooting?”. He furiously reacted to me and replied “There is so much confusion here. You do not know who I am?”.I replied “When I myself do not know who I am how can I tell you who you are?”.He responded immediately in the same tone “I am a big executive in a big corporate company and I control thousands of people. I replied with great humility “I sincerely  apologise for the inconvenience caused but please permit me to ask a question.”.He reacted immediately “Permission granted”. With great reverence I asked him “When you yourself cannot  control your own self how can you control others ?Only the man who can lead himself can be a leader for others.”I asked him to introspect on this statement till his turn came to consult me. He did wait and came for his consult .He apologised to me for his erratic behaviour and thanked me profusely for driving away the dark clouds of Ego which were responsible for his attitude. Being elder to him I blessed him with more wisdom and we parted as good friends.🙏🙏
