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!!
