So, the number of tomatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate.
On a pre-determined day, All the children brought their tomatoes well addressed.
Some had two, some had three and some had five, some even had 20 tomatoes in accordance with the number of people they hated.
Some had two, some had three and some had five, some even had 20 tomatoes in accordance with the number of people they hated.
The teacher then told them they had to carry the tomatoes with them everywhere they go for two weeks.
As the days passed the children started to complain about the decay and smell of the tomatoes.
The students who had many tomatoes complained it was very heavy to carry and the smell was too much.
After a week, the teacher asked the students “How did you feel this week?”
The children complained of the awful smell and heavy weight of the tomatoes, especially those who carried several tomatoes.
The teacher said, “This is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people.
Hatred makes the heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere.
If you can’t bear the smell of spoilt tomatoes for a week, imagine the impact of bitterness on your heart as you carry it daily.”
The heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.
Forgive those who have angered you.
This makes room for storing good things.
Get Better, Not Bitter!!!

Beware of two-faced people, because they are untrustworthy and despicable!
Life experiences opened my eyes to be more cautious with certain people around me. Lessons learned in life.
Sober reflections about life.
Your birth came through others. Your name was given by others. Your were educated by others. Your income indirectly comes through others. Your respect is given by others. Your first bath was given by others. Your last bath will be done by others. Your funeral will be organised by others. You will be taken to your final resting place by *others* and everything you owned will be inherited by others. Hmm.....why, then, do some of us let our ego, our career, our money and our beliefs undermine the worth of others in our lives, when we are so dependent on others. Isn't it high time we learned to live in peace and harmony with others, because all through our lives, at one point or the other, we will need each other. Kindly share with others.
