Forgiveness

A Mother's kindergarten teacher held a "game". The teacher asked the children each bring their students a transparent plastic bag of fruit and potatoes. Each potato was given the name based on the name of the person hated. Thus the number of non-specified how many potatoes, depending on the number of people he hated.

On the agreed day each student took the potatoes in a plastic bag. There is a distinguished number 2, there are 3 even have a 5. As their teacher commands, each potato is named after the name of the person hated. The students should bring a plastic bag containing these potatoes wherever they go, even to the toilet though, for 1 week.

Day by day, the potatoes began to rot, the students began to complain, let alone that brought 5 pieces of potato, in addition to heavy smell too bad. After 1 week of kindergarten students are relieved that their ordeal will end soon.

Mother Teacher: "How does it feel to bring the potatoes for 1 week?"

Get out of complaints from kindergarten students, in general they do not feel comfortable to bring these rotten potatoes wherever they go. The teacher also explained what the meaning of "game" they are doing.

Mother Teacher: "Such was the hatred which we always carry if we can not forgive others.

It was very unpleasant to bring potato rot wherever we go. That's just 1 week, what if we bring a lifetime of hatred?

It would be uncomfortable ...

Therefore, remove forgiveness to the person you hate.

Because when you do not want to forgive, you are like holding a heavy and rotten potatoes that will make yourself be contaminated by the foul and the smell of the potato, which probably will cause you heartache, bitterness in the hearts that if the saved will cost you and your self could possibly lead to physical illness.

The more we do not want to let go of bitterness, you will personally feel the pain. Therefore there is no other way except release or pardon.

We hold a grudge, hurt in themselves, though not necessarily the people who make us feel hurt about it. Forgiving or not forgiving mean forgetting what they do, forgive means that we make ourselves more lightly and be healed.
