Hatred
A teacher decided to let her class play a game. She told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Eachpotato 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 two potatoes; some three while some upto five 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 one week.
Days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those
having five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.
After one 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 one 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 went.
The teacher then 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 herever you go.
If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the stench of
hatred in your heart for lifetime???"
so what do you say....
