DO U HATE SOMEONE?
A Nice story with a good moral. Please go through.
A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag
containing a few potatoes.
Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates,
So the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag
will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name
of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up
to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them
the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet)
for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to
the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those
having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the
children were relieved because the game had finally ended....
The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with
you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started
complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry
the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The
teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your
hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will
contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.
If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week,
can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your
heart for your lifetime???"
Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart
so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is
the best attitude to take!
True love is not loving a perfect person but loving an imperfect
person perfectly!!
