Great Love Story
Potatoes
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.
When the day came, every child brought some potatoes
with the names of the people he/she hated. Some had two
potatoes, some had three potatoes while there were a few
with up to five potatoes. The teacher told the children
to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever
they go (even to the toilet) for one week.
Days passed by and the children started to complain about
the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Children
with five potatoes complained the most as they had to
carry heavier bags. After a 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 complained
about the trouble they had to go through to carry the
heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
The teacher finally told them about the hidden meaning
behind the game.
The teacher said, "This is the exact situation to
what happens when you carry hatred for someone 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 one week, can you imagine what it is 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 a burden for a lifetime. The best attitude
to take is to forgive others! Love others even if you
don't like them.
