| God |
So, you would like to interview me? |
| I |
If you have the time, |
| God smiled |
My time is eternity; what questions do you have in mind to ask me? |
| I |
What surprises you most about humankind?... |
| God |
- That they get bored with childhood - they rush to grow up and then long to be children again.
- That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
- That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
- That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived...
|
| God's hands took mine and we were silent for while and then I asked... "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?" |
| God replied with a smile |
- To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved.
- To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives.
- To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.
- To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.
- To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons one loves, and that it may take many years to heal them.
- To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness
- To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.
- To learn that money can buy everything but ...HAPPINESS!!!!
- To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it very differently.
- To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they must also forgive themselves.
- And to learn that I am here -- always.
