Once, a Junior School teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each tomato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates. Like this, the number of tomatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate.
On a decided day, the children brought their tomatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five tomatoes .
The teacher said that they would have to carry the tomatoes with them everywhere they go for a week.
As the days passed, the children started to complain about the spoiled smell of tomatoes. The students who had many tomatoes complained that it was very heavy to carry.
The teacher asked them, "How did you feel this past one week?"
The children complained of the smell & the heavy weight of the tomatoes .
The teacher then said, "This is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don't like some people. Hatred makes your heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere. If you can't bear the smell of spoiled tomatoes for a week, imagine what your heart must be going through?"
Your heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.
Let go... Allow... Forgive... Accept... Make Peace... do what it takes!
