How the dog got kicked

The mascot pup after a bath 1943

The following story makes me smile every time I recall it. I don’t remember the exact source of this story, but it is similar to the story of a rude man with the buddha. Here is how it goes:

One day, the boss of a company summons an employee at his office and gets angry and yells at him because of the last quarter results. The employee wonders why the boss got mad at him at starts getting angry.

When the poor employee gets back home, his wife welcomes him, but he yells at her for no reason, and now she is one who is angry. Then, she yells at her kid because he is making too much noise. Now the kid is angry and goes to his room and kick the dog.

In the end the dog got kicked. Whose fault is it? Is it the boss’s, the employee’s, the wife’s or the kid’s? When you encounter such a situation, can you break the negativity chain or are you part of it? Can you be aware of it when it happens?
