🤔 **A Parable About Resentment with Profound Meaning** 🤔 A student asked his teacher: 👤 "You are so wise. You're always in a good mood, never getting angry. Help me to be like that." The teacher agreed and asked the student to bring a potato and a transparent bag. 🥔 "If you get angry with someone and hold onto resentment," said the teacher, "then take this potato. Write your name on one side and the name of the person you had a conflict with on the other side, and put this potato into the bag." 👤 "Is that it?" the student asked in confusion. The teacher replied: 🧐 "No," said the teacher. "You must carry this bag with you all the time. And every time you get upset with someone, add a potato to it." The student agreed. Some time passed. The student's bag filled with several potatoes and became quite heavy. It was very inconvenient to carry it everywhere. Moreover, the potato that he put in at the beginning had started to rot. It became covered in a slimy, unpleasant film. Some had sprouted, while others had blossomed and emitted a sharp, unpleasant odor. The student went to the teacher and said: 😩 "It's impossible to carry this anymore. Firstly, the bag is too heavy, and secondly, the potatoes have gone bad. Can you suggest something else?" But the teacher replied: 🤨 "The same thing happens in your soul. When you get angry or hold onto resentment, a heavy stone appears in your soul. You just don't notice it right away. Later, more stones accumulate. Actions turn into habits, habits into character, which gives birth to noxious vices. I gave you a chance to observe this process from the outside. Every time you decide to get upset or, on the contrary, offend someone, think if you really need this stone." #Psychology @Motivation
