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.” (anxiously: áy náy, lo âu, lo lắng, băn khoăn, tạm dịch)

“That they live as if they will never die,  and die as if they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for awhile

. . .

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 they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn that a rich person is not 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 we love, and it takes many years to heal them.” (profound wounds: vết thương lòng sâu thẳm, tạm dịch)

“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 two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.”

“And to learn that I am here... always.”

- I did see this message ~3 years ago, since 2005, but it did not mean much to me at that time. Now, its meaning's quite different to me. The GOD is real and he always there struggling and guiding HIS children.
(please mention that GOD here is whatever Phật A di đà or Jesus or Đấng tối cao... to me, HE is just the one who care about mankind, the one who made everything, everyone is from HIM and HE is in everyone)

- If this is the first time you see this message, please reward at least 2 times in slow in every sentence. Listening/reading by the heart. If it's still STRANGE to you? That's fine, just remember the title and back to review them one day, some years later maybe. You will see a different meaning from today, I believe. This is my own experience which I'd just like to share with you my dear friends.
