The Weight
Of Resentments
A teacher
once told each of her students to bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of
potatoes to school. For every person they refuse to forgive in their life's
experience, they chose a potato, wrote on it the name and date, and put it in
the plastic bag. Some of their bags were quite heavy.
They were
then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week, putting it
beside their bed at night, on the car seat when driving, next to their desk at
work.
The hassle
of lugging this around with them made it clear what a weight they were carrying
spiritually, and how they had to pay attention to it all the time to not forget
and keep leaving it in embarrassing places. Naturally, the condition of the
potatoes deteriorated to a nasty smelly slime. This was a great metaphor for
the price we pay for keeping our pain and heavy negativity! Too often we think
of forgiveness as a gift to the other person, and it clearly is for ourselves!
Forgiveness
is the fragrance the flower sheds on the heel that crushed it.
