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!
"Many, many trials I have faced in life.
The most difficult of all are those with human beings, because they do not understand.
I have seen people I have loved, people to whom I have given my heart, misunderstand.
But that has never created bitterness in me.
If bitterness arises in your heart out of the nonunderstanding of others, you will lose your own understanding.
Do not let yourself feel hurt when someone misunderstands you.
Rather, pay more attention to helping that person.
If you can neutralize your feelings toward those who misunderstand you, you will be ever ready to help anyone and everyone.
