I know that some of you may actually agree with the following media, or disagree; it’s up to you. I agree with all of it, and if it really is an interview in God, then it’s a heavenly good thing that I see all the points as accurate… which I rarely do with anything =P

What link? This link:

Check that out; That’s the English version. If you visit the index, you can check out the other languages.

Since I can type so fast (or at least I think I can =P) I decided to transcribe everything in the presentation, just in case you want to re-read it because it went by too fast, want to copy/paste it somewhere, or simply not load the flash at all and just read on.

Without Further Ado.

Title: Interview with God

I dreamed I had an Interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?”, God asked.

“If you have the time”, I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity. What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about mankind?”

God answered…

“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money, and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget about the present, such that they live in neither the present not the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine, and we were silent for awhile. And then I asked… “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?” God replied with a smile.

“To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they must forgive themselves. And to learn that I am here, always.”

I thought that was a pretty deep analysis, but if the interview was true… Well, enough said.

I think I’ll make a semi-mellow entry for tonight. I’ve been relaxing slightly more, with certain people. Progress doesn’t come immediately. Bad habits are harder to break than good ones. But why? It seems that the only reason I cannot progress to good in my life is because of bad. Not to say my life is bad; I appreciate it thoroughly. There are just certain attributes about my own life that sometimes make it difficult to live, and I know that there are at least five people out there that know what I’m saying because I’ve told them, or because you’ve gone through something similar.

So what to do? What to do… I’m going to ramble here and talk to myself, and think while typing. I haven’t had a genuine “thinking” session (or rambling, if you want to call it that), so I shall make my way down the path that I’ve made for myself with a few turns along the way; possibly in a different direction. Well, since I don’t know what direction(s) I will be going in, I assume that I will be taking different directions! The question is, will any of them be the right one?…

Certainly. I think that any decision that people make, while thinking ahead of time, is the best path that they could have chosen at that time. This means that you shouldn’t ever really regret how you’ve felt, or what you’ve done; If you really feel bad, don’t do it again. Open/Shut case. Ta-da! If only it were that easy.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried being nicer. (No, the previous part of this entry isn’t about that =P) It’s not like I want to be a mean person, but it’s a deadly mix between Right and “Right”. In the Right part of my brain (not, literally… but, the one that says “This is right, not wrong; the kind without the ‘quotes’”), I feel that I should correct people. Do I get annoyed when people do it with me? It depends on who they are. A lot of people think that I exclude my self from my thinking and treatment patterns. This is certainly not the case. If you lived in my brain, you would receive equal treatment, which is sometimes something people don’t like about me. You’ll all be treated the same, until you prove yourself to be superior, inferior, or insult me. Usually the last two go hand in hand, but that’s just with experience.

I’ve been painfully distracted by other’s problems, so I’m going to have to cut this one short…

I really need to work on how I treat people… but that means that they should work on how they’re treating me too, right? Let’s hope…
