TOMATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
๐
A teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school.
๐
Each tomato was to be given the name of a person whom that child hates.
๐
So, the number of tomatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate.
๐
On a pre-determined day, All the children brought their tomatoes well addressed.
๐
Some had two, some had three and some had five, some even had 20 tomatoes in accordance with the number of people they hated.
๐
The teacher then told them they had to carry the tomatoes with them everywhere they go for two weeks.
๐
As the days passed the children started to complain about the decay and smell of the tomatoes.
๐
The students who had many tomatoes complained it was very heavy to carry and the smell was too much.
๐
After a week, the teacher asked the students “How did you feel this week?”
๐
The children complained of the awful smell and heavy weight of the tomatoes, especially those who carried several tomatoes.
๐
The teacher said, “This is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people.
๐
Hatred makes the heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere.
๐
If you can’t bear the smell of spoilt tomatoes for a week, imagine the impact of bitterness on your heart as you carry it daily.”
๐
The heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.
๐
Forgive those who have angered you.
๐
This makes room for storing good things.
๐
Get Better, Not Bitter!!!
Love everyone ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
