ONE OF LIFE'S LESSON


TOMATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

๐Ÿ…A teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school.
๐Ÿ…Each tomato was to be given the name of a person whom that child hates.
๐Ÿ…So, the number of tomatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate.
๐Ÿ…On a pre-determined day, All the children brought their tomatoes well addressed.
๐Ÿ…Some had two, some had three and some had five, some even had 20 tomatoes in accordance with the number of people they hated.
๐Ÿ…The teacher then told them they had to carry the tomatoes with them everywhere they go for two weeks.
๐Ÿ…As the days passed the children started to complain about the decay and smell of the tomatoes.
๐Ÿ…The students who had many tomatoes complained it was very heavy to carry and the smell was too much.
๐Ÿ…After a week, the teacher asked the students “How did you feel this week?”
๐Ÿ…The children complained of the awful smell and heavy weight of the tomatoes, especially those who carried several tomatoes.
๐Ÿ…The teacher said, “This is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people.
๐Ÿ…Hatred makes the heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere.
๐Ÿ…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.”
๐Ÿ…The heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.
๐Ÿ… Forgive those who have angered you.
๐Ÿ…This makes room for storing good things.
๐Ÿ…Get Better, Not Bitter!!!

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs.

He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...
