First, he created the ground for us to walk. Second, he created the water for us to drink. Lastly he created the plants and animals for us to eat. That is when we came into life, but when we asked the creator for guidance, we received no response. We would pray and beg for him to return, but again no reply. We would ask him for rain when our crops needed water, we would ask him for food when we could not find animals, but he never answered our prayers. Yet when we were faced with hardships, we pushed forward. We dug for water when there was no rain, we searched further for animals when we could find none. Overtime we stopped praying, we realized we could solve the problem instead of hoping someone else would. We survived, but a day came where he returned. Floating down from the sky, he looks surprised and insulted, he sees nobody is praising his return. Nobody stares, nobody is excited, nobody cares. He began to fill with rage and anger, he thought that he should be worshiped, that he should be praised despite his absence.

Shouting furiously he says, “What kind of creations are you, where is my praise!? I created you all, you all would not be alive if it was not for me!”

People continue to move past him, the town square moves around him.

Only one person speaks to him, “You created us, but we did not survive because of you. Our lives are not for you, we live for us. You abandoned us since our creation, yet we still lived, we did not need your help.”

“You clearly need my help, look at all of these immoral actions, it is pure madness!”

“You have no say in this, these are our lives, and ours alone. If you disapprove, leave. We did not, and do not need you.”
And as quickly as he returned, he left, fuming with anger. Our land has thrived since, continuing to live our own lives. Is this story true, I could not tell you. But whether it is true or not, the message remains the same, and should not be forgotten.
