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!
Happiness is the Eternal Oneness.
It is only when you are dreaming that you see the "many".
Therefore, wake up and roar.
When you sleep you are all alone, and while you're asleep you dream of mountains, rivers, forests, friends, animals and a world full of people.
But is the dream real?
Let me tell you another story. One night, a man goes to sleep and dreams that he gets married and has many children together with his wife. Then one day, a flood comes and all of his children are lost in the flood. His wife too, get washed away with the flood.
The man is now suffering. He is crying, "Where is my wife? Where are my children?"
Meanwhile, a tiger comes toward him, and he instantly wakes up.
After waking, he fells so happy.
Even though in his dream his wife and children have died, on waking he knows that it is all unreal. Even the suffering was unreal.
So now let the tiger appear to tell you, "Wake up, this is a dream."
