A Nice story with a good moral...............
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
rotten 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 inherit.
True love is not loving a perfect person but loving an imperfect person
perfectly!!
