Once a Junior School teacher asked her students to bring some potatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each potato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates. Like this, the number of potatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate. On a decided day the children brought their potatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five potatoes.
The teacher said they have to carry these potatoes with them everywhere they go for a week. As the days passed the children started to complain about the spoiled smell that started coming from these potatoes. Also some students who had many potatoes complained that it was very heavy to carry them all around. The children got rid of this assignment after a week, when it got over.
The teacher asked, "How did you feel in this one week?" The children discussed their problems about the smell and weight. Then the teacher said, "This situation is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don't like some people. This hatred makes your heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred in your heart everywhere you go. If you can’t bear the smell of spoiled potatoes for a week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry throughout your life, on your heart?"
MORAL:
* Our heart is a beautiful garden that needs a regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.
* Forgive those who have not behaved with you as expected and forget the bad things. this also makes room available for storing good things

Nice post. Thanks to you and the e-mailer.
I would like to carry no potato in future. One thing is sure. My potato will not carry your name.
thanks for your comments, mannai, chitra & pe.so.vi.
Well said, pe.so.vi that.."I would like to carry no potato in future..."
Hope, everyone thinks in these lines..
While the post made an interesting reading, I have to bring it to your notice that the colour of the message vis a vis the pink bachground was irritant to my eyes. ( I sincerely hope that other friends would also concur with this view).
Please do some thing to address to the problem, as otherwise, one may well choose to ignore such posts.
