Letting go of grudges

Went for a training on friday and get to know a story by the trainer. Cant remember the exact details but basically this is how the story flows.

A teacher ask her class of primary school students, to take a potato, each representing a grudge. Some will take 1, some 2, some a dozen more. The teacher will then ask the students to use a fork to poke the potatoes, breaking it to samller pieces and put the pieces into a sack.

The students were to carry the bags every where they go, even when they go to toilet. After a week, the students were tired of carry the bags. The students complain of the weight of the bag and the smell due to the decompose potatoes.

The teacher say, if you have bear no grudges, you will no need to carry the grudge in yr heart. Others may have forgotten abt the grudge, but you choose to hold on like the smelly sack of potatoes which will drain you mentally and physcially. Learn to let go.
