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!
"You all are at present in a state of constant wanting. This has for the time being become your second nature. When you are hungry you are in need of food; having eaten you feel satisfied. Then again you want to sleep. After waking up you conceive the need to go out or to talk to someone. In this way you are always wanting something or other. This condition of ceaseless wanting has become your second nature. The ability to dwell in his true nature, in his own Self, in his own state of Being, is potentially inherent in man. The veil of ignorance is there, yet there is also a door to knowledge. By passing through that door of knowledge man returns to his own true nature, becomes established in his own state of Being."
