Do you hate someone???
......Please go through.
A kindergarten teacher 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, each 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???”
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
!!!
