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 goodness grows weak ,
When evil increases ,
I make myself a Body .
In every age , I come back
To deliver the Holy ,
To destroy the sin of the sinner ,
To establish righteousness .
One of the great distinctions between Western and Eastern thought is that the West tends to think in terms of linear time span ___ the world and human history having a definitive beginning , middle and end . On this horizontal time line , God has specific , historical interventions .
In contrast , the East thinks in terms of great cycles : ascension and descension , creation and destruction , growth and decay ; these cycles are seen as continually repeating waves in an Eternal Cosmic Process . Civilizations , Religions and Individuals are all part of this on going cycle .
The appearance of the Avatar (God manifestation in human form) is essential to this Eternal Movement of Spiritual Decline by regeneration .
