"Come in," God said,
"So, you would like to interview Me?"
"If you have the time," I said.
God smiled and said:
"My time is called eternity
and is enough to do everything"
"What questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
"None that are new to you. What surprises you most about
mankind?"
"That they get bored of being children,
are in a 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 neither for 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
After a long period, I said, "May I ask you another question?"
"As a Parent, what would you ask your children to do?"
God replied with a smile:
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What is important is
who they love."
"To learn that it takes years to build trust,
and a few seconds to destroy it."
"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. There
will be others better or worse than they are."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one
who needs the least."
"To learn that they should control their attitudes,
otherwise their attitudes will control them."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in
persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do
not know how to show their feelings."
"To learn that money can buy everything but happiness."
"To learn that while at times they may be entitled to be upset, that
does not give them the right to upset those around them."
"To learn that great dreams do not require great wings, but a landing
gear to achieve."
"To learn that true friends are scarce, he/she who has found one has
found a true treasure."
"To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others,
but that they forgive themselves."
