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!
When Germany was divided into East and West, they constructed a huge wall to separate the two.
After a few days, the East Germans collected garbage and dumped it on the Western side. They felt triumphant thinking they had humiliated people on the other side.
After a couple of days, the West Germans brought in truck loads of fresh fruits, freshly baked bread, provisions and silently left them on the Eastern side, along with a note.
The note read, "ONE CAN GIVE ONLY WHAT ONE HAS".
Isn't it true, we can only gift what we have?
Do not feel bad when someone throws rubbish at you or trolls you. Remember that they are gifting what they have.
The question is, 'What are you gifting people today?'
