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 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 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.”

Think it is a good poem~ helps us to reflect on what the hell we are doing.
What dumb things we are doing.
Actually, i still do believe the clearest way to see things in life is looking it in the simpliest way.

I felt a bit of guilt after watching the presentation.
On the part about what god want's his children to learn..
Realise I haven't been forgiving.

I had been too selfish. and too defensive.
I haven't been humble enough.
I had been too lazy, I haven't care enough for my parents and friends.
I had been trying too hard to be loved more, that it spoilt the initial beauty of being loved.

I suddenly remembers someone i respect the most. I was damn inspired by her in my sec4 to jc life. Mother Teresa.

In sec sch cme lessons, we read about her, her greatness. How loving she was. How giving she was. How saint she appeared.
I was so inspired thzt i sort of sweared that i wanna go india during my holi after my A'levels. Of course that did not happened. sighz. The real world is so complicated. You wanna go help out, you needa go through the red cross or other charity bodies. Then red cross will only send people who had been with them for a few years. but if you haf the will , you can~

Kor wanna go on this holi~ for 2weeks~ needa pay 800bucks~
Mama was against~
Then i heard her points and i reg it~
Now it is SUPER straining on them to support this family~
Imagine~ hong studying in poly and kor and me studying in ntu, living in hall~ the expenses is wowowowoah~.

I feel that i had been taking too much from them too. haiz~ din noe mama struggling~
She says kor shd not go~ he wanna take care of those ppl so ar away, he shd first help out the family. Save up some money in the holis then ease their burden when sch reopens. Duper true~ if he wants, he can help out in singapore also~ so many needy ppl around~ why must go to THAT extreme.

Duper true. i liek to listen to wat mama says, she is always so down to earth and things always make so much sense in the real world. She really knows the world. Wise.
impressive.

If i can get a tution job~ one week 2 hrs~ one month 4 weeks, one hr 20bucks~ then i can hav 160 bucks per month~ then i can pay my own hp bill and take less 100bucks from my parents!~ man!~ damn gd~anyone got plezase intro me. I hate giving tution, so stress, so scared i dunno enuff to teach of had long forgotten. pri shd jiu hao le.... haiz~ but for money~ i shd~ otherwise really xiong on them. hmm~

I love my laptop sooo much!~
Super worthy buy...~ heehee~
I shall save up in holi~ and return papa 1000 buckx for this laptop~
Thik i wun be able to do it lah~ 1000 bucks leh~
maybe 500bucks first lah~
see how~
