Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!
I used to go to the Temple with my mother . The temple had stairs.
I used to ask her why can't they build the temple on the ground? Why do you have to climb the stairs each and everyday?
*The excellent answer by mother.*
You need to rise above your level to reach God.
Each step of the stairs is a reminder that you are rising above your level in terms of your envy, greed, anger, ego and all evil parts of your life.
It also suggests that you have to climb the steps one by one, you can't just jump off from first step to the last step.
That is the cycle of life, once you conquer these aspects, you reach towards your inner core self........
