Do You Hate Someone?
(Story)
A
VERY 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!!
