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