The Interview with God
THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
“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 die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgiveby practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly. "Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.
Walter Lippman
1889-1974
Well, I do not completely agree with this but there are cases where it is particularly apt.
But then you can never really make it into a black or white case. Where people are concerned, there are a lot of gray areas. I guess that's what makes things exciting. It would be a big bore if you could predict completely what would happen. No fun at all if you know everything beforehand, is it?

What kind of a Jewel are you?
Well, it is a bit childish but I rather like these personality tests...perhaps they help massage the ego!!
| What kind of jewel are you? Opal On the outside you are lovely, but also quiet and somewhat shy. But those you find worthy to see the true you know that on the inside, you are exquisite and absolutely breathtaking.
