A Nice story to convey how hatred affects you .

A kindergarten 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. 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, each 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  for 1 week.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complaining 

of 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. 

She 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!
