It’s better to whiff it out
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007This is a nice forwarded message that I’d like to share to everyone. Not because it talks about an activity made under my age bracket but because I felt good right after reading it. The lesson it carries can enormously help us get through life. Start young and live life happily. Read on for you to understand what I am trying to say. 
The Stench of Hatred
A kindergarten teacher has 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 potatoes.  Each potato will be given a name of a
person
that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in
his/her
plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with
the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while
some up
to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the
potatoes
in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to
the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those
having 5
potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were
relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes
with you for 1 week?” The children let out their frustrations and started
complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry
the heavy and smelly potatoes 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 potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it
like to have
the stench of hatred in your heart  for your lifetime???”
“Forgiveness is not something you do for someone else;
it is something you do for  yourself.
Give yourself the gift of forgiveness”

( but do you know the feeling where you want to write but you find yourself not having anything to write?? Well for the past few days I have come up with some thoughts that I think are best to be blog about … oh poor me because right now, it all fails to come to my mind.
