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’t bear the smell of spoiled
potatoes for a week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry
throughout 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.
*ks*
