An Interview with God

Man: 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 neither the present nor the future... that they live as if they will never die and die as if they have never lived.

A friend passed this quote to me through SMS. I was so inspired and it surely made me think.


What if I was given the chance to interview Him?
What would I ask?
What would I tell Him?

Well, this quote. It's quite ironic, but it's true. I realized the following:

• We should enjoy the time that is given to us by God. We should spend it with the people we love and we should not waste it doing things that will never bring us and the people around us any good.
• We should take care of ourselves. We should value our health more than our work, studies, chores, etcetera.
• We should focus in the present. Forget the past and dream for the future.
• We should not rush ourselves. We should always remember that we live for the present and time will come for our future.
• We should make every moment in our lives worthwhile because we only borrowed it from God and it is really kind of Him to lend it to us.
• We should always remember this: "It is always better to die for something than to live for nothing."

We only have one life, so we better live it well. :)
