History for schoolchildren, tomatoes, and the meaning of life

One day the teacher asked the students to write down on a piece of paper the names of all the people they hate. When they did this, the teacher told them to bring the next day at school with a bag of tomatoes on the number of recorded names.

Some children brought a bag with two tomatoes from other tomatoes were three, five, or even ten.

The teacher asked the students to carry the tomatoes for two weeks. < But after a couple of days children began to complain about the bad smell of rotting vegetables. Several students had a hard time everywhere to carry a dozen tomatoes. The smell was too sharp and strong.

A week later, the teacher brought the class, once again listened to their complaints, and said:

- This is all very similar to what you carry in your heart when you do not like some people. Hatred corrodes the soul and makes her sick. < If you can not stand the smell of spoiled tomatoes a week, imagine the "flavor" of bitterness and anger that you carry in your heart every day

heart - it is a beautiful garden that need to be regularly cleaned of weeds, ie forgive those who angered you. This frees up space in it for the really good stuff.

< Do not take life to the full, take only the best!
