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 child hated, so the number of potatoes that a child will 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 of the people he/she hated. Some has two potatoes; some three while some up to five potatoes.

The teacher then told the children to carry with then the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week.
Days after days passed by, and he children started to complain due to unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After one 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 one 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.
They teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: This is exactly situation when you carry our hatred for somebody inside you heart. The stench o f hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you can't tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for  just one week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
Moral
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take!
