Have a pleasant night Playing A Game A teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few tomatoes. Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates. When the day came, every child brought some tomatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 tomatoes and some had up to 5 tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the tomatoes in their plastic bags wherever they go for 1 week. Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked: How did you feel while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1 week? The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly tomatoes wherever they go. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what it is like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime??? Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others relieves you and helps you to live a happy and healthy life.
