Knife

Mummy always told me not to play with knives since young. But somehow, someday, I would have to get a grip of it myself and learn how to use it well. In the process, there'll be cuts.

There are many knives in life that we've to learn to handle.

Mishaps are like knives that either serve us or cut us,

as we grasp them by the blade or the handle
