如果你把怨恨積郁于心,負累的人是你,而不是你怨恨的人。所以,學會原諒才能輕松上路。

A teacher let her class play a game. The teacher told each child to bring a 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 into his / her bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.

Some children had two potatoes; some had three and others had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the bag wherever they go for a week.

As the days went by, the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell coming from the rotten potatoes. And the students with five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After a week, the teacher asked, "How did you feel?" The children started complaining about the trouble they had to go through, when they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes everywhere they went.

Then the teacher said, "This is the situation when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot bear the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?"

Note:

rotten adj.腐爛的, 惡臭的
