> A ninety-one year old woman died after living a long
> dignified life. When she met God she asked him
> something that had long bothered her. If Man was
> created in God's image, and if all men are created
> equal, why do people treat each other so badly?
>
> God replied that each person who enters our life has
> a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through
> these lessons that we learn about life, people,
> relationships and God. This confused the woman, so
> God began to explain.
>
> When someone lies to you it teaches you that things
> are not always as they seem. The truth is often far
> beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people
> wear if you want to know their heart. And remove
> your own masks to let people know yours.
>
> When someone steals from you it teaches you that
> nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you
> have, for you never know when you might lose it. And
> never, ever take your friends and family for granted
> because today is the only guarantee you have.
>
> When someone inflicts an injury upon you it teaches
> you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect
> and take care of your body as best you can, it's the
> only thing you are sure to have forever.
>
> When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two
> people are alike. When you encounter people who are
> different from you, don't judge them by how they
> look or act; instead base your opinion on the
> contents of their heart.
>
> When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that
> loving someone does not always mean that person will
> love you back. But don't turn your back on love
> because when you find the right person, the joy that
> one person brings will make up for all the past
> hurts put together times ten.
>
> When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches
> you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are
> wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is
> forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving
> those who have hurt us is the most difficult and
> courageous thing Man can do.
>
> When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you
> that resisting temptation is Man's greatest
> challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against
> all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded
> with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater
> than the temporary pleasure by which you
> were tempted.
>
> When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed
> is the root of all evil. As ire to make your dreams
> come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not
> feel guilty about your success, but never let an
> obsession with achieving your goals lead you to
> engage in malevolent activities.
>
> When someone ridicules you it teaches you that
> nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits
> and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject
> someone for imperfections over which they have no
> control.
>
> Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became
> concerned that there were no lessons to be learned
> from Man's good deeds. God replied that Man's
> capacity to love is the greatest gift he has. At the
> root of all kindness is love, and each act of love
> also teaches us a lesson.
>
> The woman's curiosity deepening, God once again
> began to explain.
>
> When someone loves us it teaches us that love,
> kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness
> and acceptance can counteract all the evil in the
> world. For every good deed, there is one less evil
> deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance
> between good and evil, but because the
> lessons of love are not taught often enough, the
> power is too often abused.
>
> When you enter someone's life, whether by plan,
> chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson
> will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of
> reality? When you die will your life have resulted
> in more loving or hurting? More comfort or pain?
> More joy or sadness? Each one of us has
> power over the balance of love in the world. Use it
> wisely. Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the
> world's scale in the right direction.
