Truth of life
Once a Junior School
teacher asked her students to bring some potatoes in a plastic bag
to school. Each potato will be given a name of the person whom
that child hates. Like this, the number of potatoes will be equal to
the number of persons they hate. On a decided day the children
brought their potatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had
three and some had even five potatoes. The teacher said they have to
carry these potatoes with them everywhere they go for a week.
As the days passed the children started to complain about the
spoiled smell that started coming from these potatoes.
Also some students who had many potatoes complained that it was very
heavy to carry them all around. The children got rid of this
assignment after a week, when it got over.
The teacher asked, "How did you feel in this one week?" The children
discussed their problems about the smell and weight. Then the
teacher said, "This situation is very similar to what you carry in
your heart when you don't like some people. This hatred makes your
heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred in your heart everywhere
you go. If you can not bear the smell of spoiled potatoes for a
week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry through out
your life, on your heart?"
MORALE:
* OUR HEART IS A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN THAT NEEDS A REGULAR CLEANING OF
UNWANTED
WEEDS.
* FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEHAVED WITH YOU AS EXPECTED AND FORGET
THE BAD
THINGS. THIS ALSO MAKES ROOM AVAILABLE FOR STORING GOOD THINGS. .
