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 awhile.
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 forgive by 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 do not yet 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 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'd like your children to know?"
GOD smiled and said:
"Just know that I am here."
"Always."

「與上帝的對話」
我夢見自己在采訪上帝
上帝問"你要采訪我嗎?"
"如果你有時間的話"我說
上帝微笑著說:
"我有永恒的時間"
"你想問我什么問題?
"人類有哪些事最令你驚訝?"
上帝回答:
他們覺得童年很無聊 急著讓自己長大 然后又想回到童年
他們為了賺錢而失去健康 然后又要花錢找回健康
他們擔心的想著未來 卻忘了現在 因此即不活在現今 也不活在未來
他們活得好像永遠不會死 卻死得好像未曾活過一樣
上帝握住我的手 我們沉默片刻
然后我問:
"為人父的你 希望兒女明白哪些人生的功課?"
上帝微笑的回答:
不可能強迫別人來愛他們 只能讓自己被愛
跟別人不適當的比較是不好的
富人不是擁有最多的人 而是需要最少的人
揭開心愛之人的創傷只需要幾秒鐘 卻要花很多年才能痊愈
寬恕人是需要練習才能學會
有些人很愛他們 只是不知道如何表達
兩個人看同一件事 會有不同的看法
光被別人饒恕還不夠 自己也必須饒恕自己
最后上帝微笑著說:
明白我就在這里 直到永遠
