标题: 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 question do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about mankind?"
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."
  
我梦见自己见到了上帝。  
“你有话想问我吗?”上帝问。  
“是的,如果您有时间的话。”我说。  
上帝笑道,“我的时间是无限的。。。你有什么问题要问我呢?”  
“人类最让您感到吃惊的是什么?”  
上帝回答:“小的时侯,他们厌倦了童年。迫不及待地长大后,他们又渴望回到孩提时代。”  
“他们为了赚钱而失去健康。。。然后再用金钱换回健康。”  
“他们忧心忡忡地打算将来,而忽视了当下。这样一来,他们既没有投入地活在当下,也没有真正地活在将来。”  
“他们活着的时候就好象自己永远都不会死一样,死了以后又好象从来都没有活过一样。”  
  
上帝拉着我的手沉默了一会儿。  
然后我问:“如果您有孩子的话,哪些关于生命的道理是您想让您的孩子知道的呢?”  
“我想让他们知道他们不能强求任何人的爱,而只能自己做一个值得别人来爱的人。”  
“想让他们知道拿自己跟别人做比较是没有什么益处的。”  
“想让他们在实践中学会原谅。”  
“让他们知道伤害所爱的人只需要几秒钟的时间,而让伤口愈合却需要好几年。”  
“想让他们知道有钱的人,他不是拥有得最多,而是欠缺得最少的人。”  
“让他们知道有人爱着他们,而只是还不知道该如何表达对他们的感情。”  
“想让他们知道不同的人对同一件事的看法可能是不同的。”  
“让他们知道只原谅别人是不够的,他们还应该会原谅自己。”  
“谢谢您,”我谦卑地说,“还有别的东西是您希望您的孩子知道的吗?”  
上帝微笑着说:“让他们知道我会在这儿。。。永远。”
