Garbage
Story★★★★Leslie Flynn tells of a mother who was peeling vegetables for a salad when her
daughter, home from college, casually mentioned she was going to a questionable
movie that evening. The mother suddenly picked up a handful of garbage and threw
it in the salad. “Mother!” said the shocked girl. “You’re putting garbage in the salad.”
“I know,” replied the mother, “but I thought that if you didn’t mind garbage
in your mind, you certainly wouldn’t mind a little in your stomach.”
The point
A mother dramatically illustrates that filling your mind with 'garbage' entertainment is no less harmful than eating it.
